Yeah. Technology. What is it all about?

It's your job as a board to really think about, is this a material risk? Can I measure

materiality? Can I tell that to my shareholders? If this is a risk, and I'm also legally obliged

to fix that risk over time, right? This is why we want this. We want a certain amount of open intelligence. We want

ratings out there so people can make the judgments for themselves.

Hello and welcome to Danny in the Valley your weekly dispatch from behind the scenes and inside the minds of the top people in tech.

Are you staying cool?

A shout out to all of our listeners in Britain and continental Europe who bending been in the grip of this just completely gnarly heat wave from afar. It looks awful. I mean, when runways are melting

and bridges are being wrapped in foil like a baked potato, I mean, that's, my goodness, those are

very visceral things.

But all joking aside, we've talked a lot on this podcast about the importance of that

viscerality of climate change's arrival of how important it is to spurring more investors,

more founders, more action in this world of climate tech.

And I can't tell you how many people out here have said

that they quit their job or shifted their focus kind of definitively to climate tech

after there was this one very bad fire season a couple of years ago, which culminated it in

what is known now as kind of the orange day day where it looked like nuclear winter all day.

No one could leave their home because the air quality was so bad from all the wildfire smoke.

And it was this really surreal experience that kind of imprinted on a lot of people and

really motivated them to kind of jump into into a new field.

Anyway, that is all a very big lead-up for this week's guest.

Guests, plural, I should say.
