Property gets a lot more interesting with more than 1 MWH/capita/yr.
Prior convos with Stacy, Jack, et al as of this week finally left me convinced I must ignore the energy infrastructure of developing nations, and focus purely on the frontier: sCO2 CMC turbomachinery for nuclear reactors.
I don't think people realize that China's industrial capacity, more than anything, is built upon the energy generation technologies that we invented.
The way we leapfrog them is by developing radically advanced power gen tech, but people are going too easy, or too vaporware.
The way I will avoid that trap is that I am going after energy gen tech, by not going after energy gen!
Instead, I am going after weapons systems that will further mature and overcome the underlying tech bottleneck in advanced materials & mfg, paving way to new architectures.
