What if the biggest obstacle to building a better future isn’t technology, but imagination?

In this behind-the-scenes conversation, Jason Carman—founder of @sciencestartupsandstories and @StoryCo2024—shares the vision behind the frontier film, Too Cheap to Meter. Together, we set out to tell a different kind of energy story. One where abundance takes the lead. One that decouples abundance from fear, and asks: what if our energy future wasn’t constrained by outdated narratives and bureaucratic red tape?

From capturing first-of-their-kind innovations in real time, to exploring “permissionless innovation” in the nuclear sector, Too Cheap To Meter is about more than documentation. It’s about changing the story we tell about what’s possible.
