Energy Expert Answers Gas, Solar and Nuclear Questions From Twitter | Tech Support | WIRED

Wired can you please put these amazing experts in a room and have them ask questions to each other? It would be so amazing to hear the overlap of different subjects, and just see all these smart people in a room talk about their passions.

whoever on the talent acquisition team that is picking these experts deserves a raise! They always pick such charismatic and passionate people

Wired, GQ and Variety have, finally, answered my complaints that we don't want to watch freaking 'celebrities' all the time, they don't make the world turn. People like Jeremiah, do. Progress.

I love seeing people passionate about what they do and I’m really happy he’s explaining all these crazy prices because it’s getting ridiculous and it’s nice to know what the heck is going on 😭

He's absolutely correct that salmon are particularly negatively affected by hydroelectric dams. But I want to mention that the entire downstream river system with many species are affected by dams. The water behind a dam gets warmer, with less sediments, and more algae growth. These factors are important for just about every species that lives in or near the river. So unfortunately you can't just decide that we can sacrifice one species and get all the hydro electricity we need, putting up dams everywhere would be massively disruptive.

I appreciate that he took the time to answer the basic as well as more complex questions. Very much appreciated 🧡🧡

The answer to the Texas question is that they don't produce 2 billion barrels per day. They produce around 5 million.

I'd watch a weekly podcast/lecture series with Jeremiah Baumann. So informative!

Wired is the best at always finding experts on any topic

We need these kinds of answers given in this kind of a AMA format for every branch of government. Hearings and court rooms are too slow. Move at the speed of information.

I feel like this has been the episode of the series which I understood most, and was interested in all questions/answers. Great job Wired!

Thank you. Bring this guy back again. It's an important, if not the important matter to inform about.

One note about nuclear power, all of the USN submarines and aircraft carriers are powered by nuclear power. I used to be an operator, safety is almost like a religion in the nuclear field, and we havent had any major mishaps, but to say it's taken extremely seriously would be an understatement.

What an incredible video and presenter. Excellent questions, and the host answered them all with passion in a clear manner. I loved how he talked about hot-button issues while focusing on just the science. Please more of this!

You heard it here folks - fuel prices are high because of corporate greed.

This man is clearly much smarter than he's letting on.

I’m not too happy about his outlook on nuclear power, says something that he was only able to mention the 2 out of 2 major nuclear reactor disasters? If we are going to use nuclear power we need to get rid of this notation that it is bad.

Man, this is one of the most interesting Tech Supports I've seen so far! Mr Baumann certainly knows how to explain things in a way that is easily digestible. Thanks to the Wired folks for selecting more interesting/thoughtful/technical questions for him to answer (although there were still a few "meme" questions haha)

I have a feeling that during high school years, this man''s science grade were waaaayyy better than mine .

I wish we could be having these exciting conversations about energy in mainstream society instead of arguing if climate change is even real. 😔 It can get so depressing seeing loud science deniers platformed most of the time. This information is so encouraging to finally hear.
