Interesting talk, however, there is some fallacy to his statements. The first being his regard that the services people use are good, and should be preserved if possible, yet human beings should be decreased. That doesn’t sound very humane. That means that in order to get to Zero and keep people comfortable through services, my family in an impoverished country need to die.

Another point (among many others) is that he begins his speech talking about the need for genetically modified seeds (which use a lot more C02 to produce than it’s native ancestor) and vaccines to help the poor populations. But, when he goes into his speech, he mentions that “if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health service we could lower (the population) by perhaps 10% or 15%). He just contradicted himself.

The overall idea is impressive, but listen carefully to what he’s saying.

Great talk. Although the discount of true renewables was discouraging. Bill definitely loves technological solutions, not natural solutions – case in point his analysis on batteries. Batteries are a horrible utility scale medium because they are toxic and non-economic. Hydrostor is a company in Hamilton Canada that takes cheap off peak energy to fill large vessels under water, then uses the water pressure to drive the air out through turbines. If this were used in coastal areas with tidal advantages this could be a tremendous opportunity for storing intermittent energy.

Hot fusion using tritium currently works. Unfortunitly there is little to no tritium on earth. The surface of the moon is full of it.
