Adam and Rodrigo had the opportunity to chat with engineer and business owner Alonso Gonzalez about his upcoming book, and in particular his research on the transition from a dirty, inefficient fossil fuel economy predicated on scarce energy to a new energy economy founded on effectively infinite, distributed clean energy from the sun.
Alonso shared a presentation that introduced a variety of novel concepts and assertions that makes a compelling case for a complete overhaul of earth’s energy sources and infrastructure, much of which will be quite noticeable and impactful within the next five to seven years. Topics covered include:
- Impacts of the exponential age of knowledge
- Megatrends of energy abundance and digitization
- Uncertainty as the source of anxiety
- From linear to exponential growth and how the past is no longer useful in understanding the future
- Difference between innovation and disruption and the phases and timeline of disruption
- Understanding general terms about energy
- Understanding current energy production and consumption
- Visualizing a chronological road map of the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in the near future
- Consequences of energy abundance
We hope you enjoy our conversation with Alonso Gonzalez!
