I'm quite bullish on synthetic hydrocarbons, but a few things they mention give me pause:<p>> Today, the vast majority of our energy comes from oil and gas. So if you want cheaper energy, the most direct way to get that is to make oil and gas much cheaper!<p>Which is far less direct than renewables and electrification. Only when those aren't possible is synthetic hydrocarbons a sensible choice.<p>> you need a cheap power source to extract those elements and make them into oil and gas. That power source is nuclear fission.<p>Which isn't as cheap as renewables.<p>I was expecting some technical breakthrough that used both the heat and the electricity from nuclear in some clever way, but it seems it's just a weird nuclear fetish they've got.<p>edit: and this sounds more like someone off their meds than something I'd expect in an investment pitch:<p><a href="https://twitter.com/isaiah_p_taylor/status/1719416452497986021" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://twitter.com/isaiah_p_taylor/status/17194164524979860...</a>
