About CleanTechies Podcast
Climate Cowboys | The founders and futurists building the hard-tech frontier. A generation of the most talented engineers built photo-sharing apps and SaaS on top of SaaS. None of it helped the power stay on, the supply chains hold, or the country make the things we need. The smartest people in tech are finally moving into real tech. Tech with a physical footprint: batteries, grid software, microbes that mine copper, and machines that pull carbon out of cement. This is the building business. The sovereignty business. The stewardship business. Hosted by Silas Mähner, we interview the elite founders, builders, and operators executing on the hard-tech frontier. No fluff—just peer-to-peer deep dives into what it actually takes to scale hardware, energy infrastructure, and industrial decarbonization. 💼 Building your team?

[…] We're building them, we're connecting the grids, we're using them right. and so now what we're interested in is what are the second order effects the problems created by suddenly having a lot more renewable energy for example where the problems created from having huge electrical loads suddenly show up where for the past 20 years grid demand for power has grown maybe one percent CAGR and now it's three four five percent CAGR in some cases thanks to electric vehicles thanks to data centers what's that second order effect what's the second order effect of the cost of rocket launch is falling by orders of magnitude over the last 20 years and now we have all these remote sensing platforms in space.
