Why He Quit NASA to End The Oil Industry | ROP #44
About this episode
Casey Handmer quit his dream job at NASA for one reason: to build the machine that will end the oil industry by making unlimited, cheap fuel from nothing but sunlight and air. In this episode of The Rational Optimist Podcast, Casey, founder of Terraform Industries, explains how this technology works, why the solar revolution is unstoppable, and how energy abundance will reshape geopolitics forever.
We also uncover why China is on a collision course to claim the moon by 2029, how barren deserts are about to become the planet's most valuable real estate, and what a future of radical abundance looks like with 10X more energy.
