summary
Claim that solar drives 80% of global capacity growth by 2030 and that distributed solar will supply at least 50% of new capacity, supported by a company portfolio of 3 GW of distributed solar across 15,000 commercial and ~200,000 residential installs. Fusion is presented as capable of delivering continuous power with first generation plants within 10 years. Discussion focuses on real blockers: grid bottlenecks, curtailment, need for battery capacity, AI for efficiency, and regulatory and financing changes like the IRA to scale deployment.
