EV Demand Will Prevent Lithium-Ion Batteries From Scaling for Grid Storage
“I don't think lithium-ion can really work in the grid for whatever its challenges are, and lithium will always get a priority to the vehicles, and again, there's a supply-demand deficit there already.”
Gogri: Fusion Won't Scale by 2050, but Matters Post-2050
“I would say fusion is not the solution to the climate crisis right now. But it's an important tool when you go beyond twenty-fifty to 2100 for that, that society.”
Gogri: Gen-IV Small Modular Reactors Should Come Online by 2030

Gogri: Direct air capture is too energy-intensive to scale without new tech
“Direct air capture, which is there. I think it is just too energy intensive. I think it is like the current numbers are, it's three megawatt hours. Again, not taking the numbers, just too energy intensive. Right now, I really don't see a pathway to energy inte…”
Gogri: Global population is projected to peak around 2060 at 10 billion
“The population peak I think they are saying it's around 2060 at ten billion. So by 2100, your number is not going to be that, any case.”
