Time stamp 38:30 is where he mentions electric flight. The whole interview is interesting if you have time.

He owns stock in several AI companies in order to keep an eye on them. Of course the most advanced stuff is probably at JPL, behind a few blast doors.

I think the merger was announced, with list combined and complaining ceased quicker than this whole tablet in the cockpit has come to fruition.

Guys,
This is a very interesting subject. A few weeks back someone posted a link to a "Seven Sisters" documentary. I viewed all 4. They were very thought provoking and pretty accurate with all they presented but they left out a lot, an awfully lot, that did not mesh with their point of view.
If you really want to be knowledgeable about oil and its history this is a must read:
The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power by Daniel Yergin | 9781439110126 | Paperback | Barnes & Noble
The only way to describe this book is awesome. It is not ideological but more historical/academic which I really liked. It is basically a world history of energy/politics from the 1850's and although very long and detailed you will not want to put it down. A very enjoyable read.
If you want to be knowledgeable about oil/energy this is a great place to start.
