Hey Matt, how about an episode of "Decided" where you update us on some of the innovations you've covered 3, 4, 5 years ago. I would love to see some outcome content from your previous work. I think others would too.

The idea that solutions for next-gen batteries could come from things like our own blood or ecosystems in the Amazon really shows how much we still have to learn from biology

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbprE3qROs0&t=45">0:45</a> that's actually chlorophyll --- you might be astonished/mind blown to know that the only difference between chlorophyll and hemoglobin is that that M is an Fe instead of magnesium. And some side chains. Chlorophyll is essentially the same thing as what is in our blood --- we could genetically engineer chloroplasts to live in our skin. We would be green, and you could walk outside for lunch.

Stopping chlorine gas where cathode meets acid @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbprE3qROs0&t=447">7:27</a>...a 180 from what I used to do in a 3 MW chlor-alkali plant. We did monitor the chlorine gas coming off our anode for any pass through H2, religiously. Thus the 1/4" steel blast armor around the gas headers! Of course DuPont will have the membranes for any such battery, they have quite the niche!

Your telling me that vampires are just people that want to build better batteries.

Am I the only person that really hates "smooth" transitions to ads? I respect the people who hit you with it up front instead of burying it in the video.
