Heliogen Is Bill Gates’ Latest Venture That Is Only Good For Oil & Gas –…
The first article covered the first two points, showing that tying this to, for example, a single reasonably sized cement plant would require roughly 4,000 times the space, and that decoupling energy creation from demand would provide substantially more flexibility and higher value. Now we’ll step through the remaining three problems.
