Shownotes

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!
