Excited because I'm off to meet my ex-boss Michael Liebreich in Thun, at the factory of Swiss niche module maker 3S Swiss Solar Systems, to record an episode of his Cleaning Up podcast.
Also we just went through Wankdorf station and I am giggling because I'm still mentally about 10. And at 10 I would have been much too serious to giggle.
I wish everyone the happiness of sitting alone in a train restaurant car with a coffee, on the way to something they are looking forward to.
And here's the podcast. It was so much fun to argue with Michael again. He's wrong about 1 cent/ kilowatt-hour solar, by the way.

@solar_chase very interesting conversation! You mentioned electrolyzers, which made me curious on your take regarding terraform industries. They're trying to build cheap-but-less-efficient electrolyzers to take advantage of low solar prices.

@spoltier Terraform Industries is a bunch of dreamers with utterly unrealistic numbers.
Capex-light power-to-gas technology would indeed be a breakthrough; judging by their considerable output on X, they ain't going to be the ones to make that breakthrough.
