Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Earth comes up
The rise of metal fuels
- ▶ 16:17 Richard Wang And so how it works is, when you think about how aluminum exists in the Earth's crust, it in fact is found in bauxite, which is an ore that contains aluminum bonded with oxygen. 2 times in the scene
Inside the most sophisticated plan for solar geoengineering
- ▶ 4:35 Yanai Yedvab I, I often like to think about it kind of, you know, the ozone layer, which is protecting airs and, uh, uh, composed of, uh, ozone molecules and protecting us from malicious sun rays. 3 times in the scene
AI scaling pathways: on grid, on edge, off grid, off planet
- ▶ 19:42 Jake Elder Um, and we certainly don't need to be thinking about going to space until we think about going to remote parts of, of the earth, right?
How AI is changing weather forecasting
- ▶ 4:26 Peter Battaglia Yeah, so I have to admit, I'm actually a relative newcomer to the area of weather forecasting myself, so we had gotten involved in this, uh, several years ago, uh, and it was sort of built out of a research program that was trying to model…
- ▶ 10:30 Peter Battaglia That, that relies on knowing, like, what's happening on the other side of the earth as the sort of prevailing winds carry the, you know, moisture and the temperature and all that kind of stuff, so. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 21:05 Peter Battaglia So temperature is sort of very smoothly, like if you look at a map of the temperature across the earth, it's sort of, you know, it's not, you know, up a mountain, it's going to be colder, and like in a valley, it'll be, you know,… 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 30:18 Peter Battaglia You have weather all over the Earth at the same time, and it's all, you know, especially the close weather, it sort of determines and can be used to predict what's happening next at, you know, our current location. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 37:38 Peter Battaglia The, of Earth's weather going back for decades, um, and I think it was originally released going back into the, uh, the uh uh uh uh uh, the, uh, uh, uh the, uh uh, uh, the the uh uh, the,,, uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh,…
New Mexico proves America can still build [partner content]
The state of play of data center development
- ▶ 25:14 Chris Sharp And that's where we've been doing that in pretty much every theater on earth over multiple cycles, right?
2025 trends: aerosols, oil demand, and carbon removal
- ▶ 10:04 Nat Bullard You'd be injecting sulfur dioxide into the high atmosphere that reduces the amount of sunlight that hits the Earth's surface.
The climate-ag grab bag
- ▶ 5:14 Mike Grunwald You know, we're probably at this point gonna need about six quadrillion more calories by twenty-fifty, um, which is, you know, I like to say it's, uh, it's like a dozen Olive Garden, uh, breadsticks every day for every human being on Earth.
Hunting for geologic hydrogen
- ▶ 42:15 Shayle Kann The world's, the Earth's crust is mafic rock.
Can chip efficiency slow AI's energy demand?
- ▶ 27:03 Shayle Kann This is, there's a bunch of people crawling the earth right now trying to find a gigawatt of capacity anywhere they can find it.
Going deep on next-gen geothermal
- ▶ 23:15 Shayle Kann So you mentioned before, the entire Earth has plenty of heat if you go down deep enough.
- ▶ 35:25 Dr. Roland Horne Um, we already do have quite a lot of, you know, the, the planet 2 times in the scene
Drew Baglino on Tesla’s Master Plan
- ▶ 7:29 Drew Baglino Exist on planet Earth.
CO2 utilization
- ▶ 9:38 Julio Friedmann It just goes back into the Earth because we took it out of the Earth in the first place. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 47:01 Julio Friedmann Well, well, I will be in my space bubble, uh, uh, orbiting the earth, uh, also made out of graphene and powered by CO two synthetic fuels.
Building a supply chain for rare earth elements
- ▶ 5:42 Ahmad Ghahreman Those happen to become the most strong magnets that we can make on our planet.
The world of battery recycling
- ▶ 31:41 Dan Steingart With significant amounts of carbon to begin with, and silicon is, I think, the most abundant solid on the Earth's surface, so there's plenty of it.
The electricity gauntlet has arrived
- ▶ 28:37 Andy Lubershane Like, we have a few gigawatts of geothermal power generation in the US today, and, you know, almost all of it is in these very rare places where heat rises very naturally close to the surface of the Earth, and water happens to be… 3 times in the scene
Fixing the messy voluntary carbon market
- ▶ 0:11 Ryan Orbuch One of the things the old market did very effectively, until people realized that they weren't getting what they were paying for, was gave people the impression that you could have real avoidance or carbon removal benefit outside of your…
- ▶ 8:18 Ryan Orbuch One of the things the old market did very effectively, until people realized that they weren't getting what they were paying for, was gave people the impression that you could have real avoidance or carbon removal benefit outside of your…
- ▶ 38:52 Ryan Orbuch Like, a methodology should be a wrapper over the actual carbon cycle process on Earth. 2 times in the scene
Beaming 24/7 solar… from space
- ▶ 2:26 Shayle Kann Anyway, the idea is to beam concentrated solar power from space down to receivers on Earth. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 4:40 Sanjay Vijendran And that's just simply not available on Earth, and the best place, and the only place you can do that is out, up in orbit in space. 7 times in the scene
- ▶ 12:38 Shayle Kann Then you need to beam that power down to somewhere on Earth, so you have this wireless power beaming problem, which you described already, and there needs to be a receiver sitting somewhere on Earth that collects that beamed power. 7 times in the scene
The fungus among us
- ▶ 5:18 Dr. Heidi Jane Hawkins And so they're fungus root fungi, which sounds odd, but what it means is that hardly a root on the planet is actually just a root.
AI for climate: a real world test
- ▶ 1:16:56 Duncan Campbell And we're talking about electricity becoming like the fundamental commodity on earth.
Keeping copper from limiting the energy transition
- ▶ 28:48 Cristobal Undurraga Earth, you will find copper, usually in the form of a copper oxide. 2 times in the scene
The Carbon Copy: A rogue geoengineering startup sparks worry
- ▶ 9:49 Stephen Lacey Make Sunsets calls this sunscreen for the Earth.
- ▶ 18:50 Alejandro de la Garza We're talking about, you know, slightly reducing, you know, reducing the amount of sunlight that hits the Earth's surface.
The greenhouse gas you don’t know about
- ▶ 0:28 Shayle Kann Well, the time is finally here when we talk about why laughing gas is one of the biggest problems on the planet.
This episode is trash
- ▶ 11:06 Matt Rogers Something like one-third of the arable land on Earth is just to create food for livestock.
What climatetech can learn from the oceans
- ▶ 0:32 Shayle Kann It covers 70% of the Earth's surface.
- ▶ 2:36 Shayle Kann It ranges from how we can use this vast majority of the Earth's surface to produce energy to how we can use the oceans themselves to create negative emissions.
How well does soil actually store carbon?
- ▶ 12:54 Eric Slesserev Um, uh, regardless of whether that inorganic carbon is stored in the soil or not, and, uh, that's because the weathering reactions that happen in soil, and these are basically transformations of minerals that formed at high temperatures… 6 times in the scene
How to Save a Planet: Spark Tank! How Do We Solve the Energy Storage Problem?
- ▶ 24:07 Daniel Ackerman Water sitting up top, the air deep down below underground in the cavern, and that air is pressurized to six times the pressure of Earth's atmosphere at sea level.
Making sense of solar engineering
- ▶ 6:00 Dan Visioni Engineering of the earth.
- ▶ 17:23 Shayle Kann Okay, and then so the, I think the question everybody would ask and will ask if we ever consider doing this seriously at the, at the global scale is, um, what are the side effects that this might have on ecosystems on the planet, right? 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 25:48 Dan Visioni Uh, so at the point, the Lagrangian point where the gravity of the sun equals the one of the planet, so we wouldn't really need that much effort to keep the space mirrors there, but we still need to carry them there. 3 times in the scene
Growing the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) market
- ▶ 40:22 Ryan Orbuch There's not a lot of just, like, excess alkalinity available on Earth, right?
- ▶ 43:44 Ryan Orbuch So radiative forcing is this idea of like the actual change in net energy in Earth's atmosphere from, you know, sunlight coming in combined with the stuff in the atmosphere and the reflectiveness of the Earth, right? 4 times in the scene
Quantum computing could be a critical climate solution
- ▶ 19:19 Mark Cupta I think that's, that is exactly the right allocation of our time, and acknowledging the fact that, um, data is eating the world, and the compute power behind that uses more and more and more of the Earth's energy that we need to, um, to,…
