Today we have something really fascinating for you. We were joined by John King, CEO, and Founder of Hyperlight Energy. 

Hyperlight Energy has created a Concentrated Solar Power technology that allows for the cheapest electricity production according to NREL. And on top of that, they have identified a way to store months of energy using certain rock formations in the earth. This conversation covers their technology, many of John's thoughts about the future of the grid, and resiliency, and then we even talked about regulation issues, education, and general ideas behind entrepreneurship in the ClimateTech space post-CleanTech 1.0.
