Insightful @a16z episode on America’s energy problem

Highlights
• The need for employee retention for manufacturing and operating nuclear plants
• Diving into the different energy types: solar and its strength, nuclear and the misunderstandings around it, wind and its downsides
• The future of energy consumption, and the policies or advancements to help navigate the cyclical nature of energy demand (through the day, seasons)

Episode ends with insights on future opportunities
• AI software to manage the demand for energy
• Decentralized coordination of energy resources

A particularly interesting point was how weather could be a critical factor in the coordination systems

Some projects building within the decentralized data collection space includes
