I'm not a mind reader, but my impression of what he meant (I actually listened to the podcast) was simply that technological innovation will be a powerful tool/ally for various endeavors of mankind and he was giving examples of such like the India example. The idea you have that he meant that tech will be a panacea for all the world's ills including climate change is delusional IMHO - but regardless of what he meant, he never said what you wrote that he said. Since you didn't even listen to the podcast it's ridiculous that you would even write what he said since you don't know what he said.
