Well, I sat through the entire 50 minutes listening to Simon's halting delivery of partially formed thoughts which when taken all together said absolutely...nothing.  Besides the idea that lots of small container size nuke reactors is better than trying to build big conventional reactors that take a lot of lead time,there was nothing else concrete at all here.  He has aal the right degrees and pedigree to be taken seriously in a meeting with politicians, but besides the fact they generally can't take suggestions that might work, he doesn't actually have any suggestions, other than we are going to be forced to do something different.

So, I don't really see any progress coming from this being part of the global heating discussion.  We've been talking about the depleting resources for years.  The money problems are nothing new.  He postulates that people who work together and cooperate will do better than those who go to war.  Maybe, but they go to war anyhow because they are running out of stuff.  If the Houthis had plenty to eat and jobs making stuff to sell to other people and energy to run their cars and air conditioners, I doubt they would be firing missiles at ships passing their coastline.  But they don't have those things and nobody will cooperate to just give it to them.

Going over to his Utube channel, he's doing better than me with almost 4000 subscribers and 2200 views for this vid, but frankly I think I have a better delivery than him.  At least I usually complete my sentences and finish a thought before I jump to something else.  In any event, as we discussed 4K subscribers is meaningless.  With all those degrees and experience, why doesn't he have 1M subscribers?  He's not sparking a global movement, nor will he with that delivery.  We are in desperate need of more charismatic spokespersons.
