profg. Scott, you recently wrote a post on your blog, No Mercy No Malice, about the energy industry and your predictions for what is going to happen in terms of our energy consumption and global energy demand. Could you summarize what your thoughts are there?
Speaker 3
look at the problems around carbon and global warming, and then you couple that with so many nations developing who are producing hundreds of millions of people coming into the middle class. And what happens when you come into the middle class? You start getting a car, your energy consumption goes up, you start eating more beef, all of these things that require a ton more energy. The demand here is insatiable. And so people who come up with whether it's nuclear or some sort of different renewable or near self-propulsion machines in the ocean, whatever it is, that is going to create a lot of billionaires and maybe our first trillionaire.
Three revelations from Red Hat Summit. Our on-the-ground report will separate fact from hype.
