@ ~ 36:40 ... He's still living in the old long ago debunked myth that it take as much energy to make PV as you get from them... the devil is always in the details ... To be that grossly wrong about something that there have been numerous studies on debunking several times ... just makes me wonder about the credibility of the basis for his opinions. Otherwise he seemed a well thought speaker ... but that one just jumped out at me as being 99% fictional without supporting evidence to back his personal belief that he felt he had to bring up... wasn't even related to the question asked.
