Interview with Casey Handmer discussing his solar maximalist worldview, why he believes solar costs will drop another 10x, the core physics that doomed Hyperloop from the start, the lessons of the underappreciated industrialist Henry Kaiser, his new venture in solar-powered desalination, his grand plan to refill the Salton Sea, and why he believes “hard-edged” leaders are essential for hardware success. Draws from his (awesome) blog.
