It was challenging to figure out where to put this. It's also environment, and it turns sharply political for Act III.

If you're already familiar with renewables, there's not a lot to learn here but the comparisons with fossil fuels and ethanol. Given that I've been on solar since 2023, I appreciated what he was saying to the uninitiated.

Get yourself some Act II if you plan on making it all the way through ... it's an hour and a half.

Problem is, this isn't even wrong. Electricity is only useful for some things. Energy carriers are not necessarily fungible. Conversion isn't free.

Another unfortunate thing: current renewable infrastructure cannot be built without fossil fuels we're in the process of running out of.
