Bill Gross is a genius, he sold me with Edisun Microgrids which is now Heliogen, I should have invested more.

I love the idea of building the blocks with waste material. Our recycling system is broken and needs all the help it can get.
I'd so love to see his concentrated solar applied to a steam engine that desalinated water. Plastic pyrolysis plant as well. Put trash and sun in, get fuel out

Such a great talk. I hope that many of those ideas will scale 💪

Love his thinking and approach, super inspiring.. we need more bill’s to fast track the climate change movement.

This is a cool idea, mirrors, but we still lack hydrogen infrastructure for spreading cracked hydrogen around as a fuel. And we have no hydrogen powered vehicles. This will take many years to build. May be a better idea to simply use the heat in the traditional way to boil water to turn steam turbines and create electricity
