Starting a company to develop an energy technology that fights climate change is hard—a lot harder than starting a software company. As someone living in California, I immediately flashed on all the oil pumpjacks I pass on the drive from the Bay Area to Los Angeles, so he didn’t have to convince me that the infrastructure exists.

As Sheikh Zaki Yamani, a former Saudi oil minister, once said, “The stone age came to an end not for a lack of stones, and the oil age will end, but not for a lack of oil.” But some oil will still be being pumped at the end, and it won't be heavy, sour, far from water crude.

“Electric cars will not save the climate. Another expectation is that homeowners and businesses will become “ fully electrified ” by replacing oil, propane and gas furnaces with heat pumps along with gas fired stoves as well as installing solar power and battery systems. The answer is perhaps some, but maybe not too much.
