Excellent conversation. You mentioned the issue of the ‘death of environmentalism’, to be replaced by a climate change-ism and fetish of ‘renewables’. You maybe interested to read about NZ’s death of environmentalism that was replaced by speciesism, and an obsession with poisons which began many decades ago and has now taken on new life in this recent neoliberal ideology.

You are so wholesome, witty and charming. Pro-huminism has my vote and after this podcast I’ve subscribed to your substack and look forward to reading and hearing from you.

Robert, was able to listen to the podcast. Really great to hear you as an interviewee especially on a podcast with such a large following. You hit key energy points very well. Keep up the good work.

Great substantive interview Robert and pleased you were on JP’s platform. That will give your message a a much wider footprint which of course is essential to reach the widest possible swath of active influencers/voters. If your momentum can be accelerated there is real hope of achieving some realistic engineering/science based energy policies....hopefully before the current faith-based, green marinated, anti-science, anti-humanist Biden agenda destroys our civilization.

When the right two people respectfully discuss issues it is amazing how quickly 2 and a half hour go by.

An animated & highly informative conversation, busting many of the myths about renewable energy. Hoping people listen carefully to the section at (1:23:47) "Are solar and wind really renewable?" Robert Bryce's work is well worth following. I'm looking forward to his new documentary which I hope will be available in Australia. Unfortunately I still cannot access his 2020 documentary called "Juice".

Great interview, well done Robert.

I think you correctly highlighted the issue with rare earth minerals for lithium batteries and and rare earth magnets for motors. Sourcing cobalt is expensive and hazardous. It’s estimated that 90% of supply comes from China. That’s a risky supply chain.

But I’d like to get you thoughts on Elon’s plans to switch to a battery chemistry and motors with zero need for these rare earths, specifically lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and motors without rare earth magnets, I think he commented on this in the last annual shareholders meeting or when he talked about his Master Plan 3 earlier this year referring to the next gen platform, more specifically Colin Campbell declared that the Tesla power train team will eliminate rare earth magnets from their motors calling it “next gen permanent magnet motor” which does not include any rare earths, maybe substitutes with neodymium combined with iron..

Hello,

We have the answer for energy poverty especially in deprived areas. Our R & D experts have been working for seven years and have now produced the Active Tape Matrix, which can be found on our website www.zerochargetechnologies.com.

This is a new technology originating from the UK West Midlands and we are looking for investment to bring this energy to everyone.

Jordan was one of the first people I heard mention the idea of reducing emissions by making energy as cheap as possible. But I’ve also followed him over the years for his words about responsibility and taking ownership of your life. Excited to listen to your episode with him.

I've been listening to both of you guys for a number of years on your respective podcasts. World energy to power to standard of living are your priorities. And Jordan often speaks often of this too. It was a topnotch podcast. Thank you!!!

I thought your new documentary was going to be called "Burning Down the Grid." Is this a different project or did you change the title?

Changed title. It's also going to be a 5-part series, with each segment lasting about 20 minutes.
