Perhaps you were a little gullible in accepting his credentials as an "actual Physicist". Or perhaps you've badly muddled the process he was trying to tell you about.

All my electricity comes from hydro. Changing North American energy production to wind, solar, etc from obsolete sources like coal is simply an issue of public pressure and political will. It will happen, eventually.
