We’ll be releasing all the DERVOS content soon, and what better teaser than Jesse’s incredible keynote.

Jesse’s presentation makes the case that solar energy isn’t just growwing and abundant — in the long run, everything other than solar is simply a rounding error, and thus harnessing solar energy is the key unlock for advanced civilization.

Jeese makes his case methodically and quantitatively, walking through the logic step by step, and addressing common counter-arguements. By the end of this presentation we promise you that, even if you don’t fully agree, you’ll walk away with a thorough understanding of solar energy and will be glad you spent the 13 minutes listening.

Take the solar pill… we think you’ll like it. And stay tuned for the rest of the DERVOS content coming your way!

About the speaker: Jesse Peltan is on a quest to help humanity unlock a Type 1 civilization. For those who aren’t familiar, Type 1 refers to the Kardashev scale, a way of benchmarking a civilization’s technological prowess based on the amount of energy it harnesses. Type 1 specifically refers to a point on this scale where a civilization controls all of the energy flows available on its home planet, whereas Type 2 and Type 3 start to get very science fiction.
