In Episode 2 of Space Revolution, host Steve Kwast is joined by guest Jon Herold for a wide-ranging discussion on why energy is the foundational driver of human progress. The conversation explores how modern energy systems are inefficient, expensive, and constrained by outdated infrastructure, and how space-based solar power could fundamentally change the way energy is produced and delivered. General Kwast explains how energy can be harvested in space, converted into electromagnetic waves, and safely beamed back to Earth with dramatically higher efficiency. The episode examines the historical resistance to disruptive innovation, the role of government regulation, and the strategic implications of energy abundance for national security, economic freedom, and global stability. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize curiosity, stewardship, and the moral responsibility to guide powerful technologies toward uplifting humanity rather than controlling it. This episode frames energy not just as a resource, but as a cornerstone of life, progress, and sovereignty.
