Great episode! It would be great to go more into the perspective of corporate investors and off-takers in the coming episodes. I see a lot of interviews with investors and founders, but almost none with their customers - the corporations that provide the off-takes. Talking to customers is a startup 101, but in all the climate podcasts I've seen (including my own), there are no interviews with corporate buyers. Would love to see such an episode!
Yair and Yoann, like a miracle I started launching a kind of "overall" concept that fits extremely well in your world, two weeks ago (the time your podcast took to have youtube "understand"). It is purely built on logic as well, so bare with me. Considering the fact that we have no means of cooling our earth and windmills heat up air that has on top of that to travel longer (gathering more moisture) before low and high pressure airmasses end up in (more) rain; I could come up with (only?) one solution that has to be worked out. Blunt fact; it is feaseble to cool (sub)tropical areas say like 5 degrees in the sense that everyone would profit from such a decline in temperature. This should be possible if we could cover the air with reflecting material. In the Netherlands we use modern pylons for high voltage electricity transport. They are like 80 mtrs. high and cover like 800 mtrs distance. My concept is to square these for supporting a knitted net of rustfree iron (cm2 and 0.1 mm thickness) that can be used to install epair gutters of flexible solar cells that could provide local stored pure water at pressure. If economically viable such areas could counter urbanisation. Lightnings would be neutralised and electricity by abundance. Besides possible economical profitability there is a more general point of logic. What if we really would need to cool off our earth some day. What if my fear of the windmills turns out to be true and proven. We need to figure out or this approache is viable for what price. Since the main materials are iron and plastics, it hardly burdens costly footprints. You are the 18th platform I'm approaching; no comments yet. vosforr@gmail.com

Thanks for the feedback! Great idea-featuring more corporate buyers could add a lot. We'll look into it for future episodes!
