    I’ve seen her videos before and they’re fantastic. I hadn’t seen this one yet obviously. What I took away from this is for right now CO2 is the immediate threat but waste heat will be a problem at some point. If a doctor had a patient with cancer and a bullet wound. He or she will treat the bullet wound before ordering a round of chemo. If I can get all star treky, it sounds like some kind of perfect Maxwell’s demon might be the holy Grail in converting waste heat into free energy. Regardless though the immediate concern should be reducing CO2.

      Just be careful. She’s known as a bit of a crank. Physics is happy to accept curmudgeons, but remember that there are more professional, experienced opinions than her’s alone.

      For ex, you’ll see she has a video on trans people with some… specious conclusions.
