evy: there are lots of commodities that will be exposed to this transition.o batteries boards the commodities related to the infrastructure that is required so you have silver going into solar panels, steel going into wind turbines, etc., and there's a whole range of commodity exposures. the key is that the spending will probably lift demand for most commodities. given the underinvestment into new capacity by the mining industry, because of the excellent capital discipline they deployed over the last five years, we do not have a huge amount of supply growth with a sudden pickup in demand, and that's why we will see prices elevate. obviously through time, higher prices will encourage people to start spending on capital again and bringing new capacity, but that takes many years for that to actually turn into physical supply so i think we do have a window of opportunity where commodities are likely to be big enough to share raise of many of the plans by governments. companies in a stronger position than i have seen in my career, a robust balance sheet, and very

it takes a laser to generate evy light but how does that work to begin with you have to build the world's most powerful industrial pulsed laser it's a technological masterpiece it produces a high intensity light bayne but not even yet. to get that you need to trick a laser beam is aimed at a droplet of liquid tin the high energy light heats the tin 222-0000 degrees celcius transforming it into a plasma which radiates the desired. the pulse laser does that $50000.00 times a 2nd. so that takes care of a we have a light source what's missing is the optical system being. glass lens is a no good for the task they only transmit certain ways lengths and u.v. lights not one of them. the solution is to use curved mirrors instead of lenses the light only has to reflect on the surface it doesn't have to pass through. the mirror as the ground from glass blocks like this and then polished the surfaces are incredibly smooth. if this marrow was scaled up to be the size of germany its biggest irregularity would be barely a 10th of a millimeter deep. but it's not just about grinding and polishing a mirror
