"That is the real reason why I’m saying to you that no politician in the future is going to undo this because, all over the world, trillions of dollars, trillions of yen, trillions of euros are going to be heading into this new marketplace. And the future belongs to the countries, as you heard today from any number of leaders, that are the ones who develop hydrogen — green hydrogen fuel, or storage, or battery storage, or direct carbon capture for the atmosphere. Some technology is going to break through here, folks."
"But five years from now, we may have a major breakthrough on batteries, on storage, on green hydrogen, on direct air carbon capture. There are so many things out there that people are chasing and working on, and that’s part of the value of the — sort of the investment in — and the venture capital business. I mean, people are looking to — you know, to be the — the entity that hits pay-dirt with the patent on the best storage system that there is. And whoever does that will make more money than Jeff Bezos pretty quickly. That’s going to be a big deal. Green hydrogen — there are a whole bunch of countries working on hydrogen and green. And if you can bring it up to scale at a cost that is not prohibitive so you’re competitive with other things, it starts to take off. I think these things are going to happen. "
"So I believe that we have the ability. When — when, you know, you talk to Rafael Reif, the president of MIT, and you listen to what they’re trying to do at MIT or at Stanford or at CalTech or, you know, a number of other tech colleges and universities in America — if we were to join forces, as we’re going to try to, with other efforts around the world, we think there are just great opportunities, and I believe we’re going to — we’re going to break through. We’re going to know how to do hydrogen, and there’s plenty of it." |
