HIBT Lab! Universal Hydrogen: Paul Eremenko

Hello and welcome to how I built this lab. I'm Guy Roz. So, as many of you know, on this edition of the show, we often talk to entrepreneurs working on world-changing ideas and products, technologies that might not be ready for commercial use today, but that could transform the way we live tomorrow. And also technology that will have to work in order to prevent the worst effects of climate change. In the United States, the transportation sector accounts for over a quarter of all carbon emissions, that's cars, trucks, planes, trains, and ships. But we can see a light at the end of the tunnel for most of these forms of transport.

Electricity. This year in California alone. fifteen percent of all new car sales were electric. And by twenty thirty-five you won't be able to sell a combustion engine car in California. which also happens to be the tenth biggest car market in the world.

So in the future we'll have entirely electric cars and trucks and trains and even ships. But not airplanes. Airplanes are really hard to electrify, and the reason is simple. Wait. Batteries that store electricity are heavy.

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
