Speech Topics
Rethinking Today and the Future — The Great Transformation
• The ongoing Phase Change Disruption of Energy, Transportation, Food & Agriculture, Labor and Intelligence are turning the 2020s into the most disruptive decade in history — Implications for the Economy, Land Use, Climate Change and Society.
• The ongoing Disruptions of the Five Foundational Sectors of the Economy are enabling the most profound Phase Change Transformation of Humanity in 10,000 Years — the End of the Industrial Age and the Beginning of an Age of Superabundance.
• Rethinking Today — The Great Transformation of the Economy, Society and the Future of Humanity.
The New Economics of Energy — How SWB Superpower will Transform the Global Economy
• Solar, Wind and Batteries (SWB) will not just disrupt energy; they will radically transform the architecture, patterns and behaviors of our energy system.
• The SWB energy system will generate Superpower, probably the most transformative energy to emerge on the planet since the steam engine.
• SWB Superpower will generate several times more energy than the existing system at near zero cost most of the year, transforming the industry and the global economy over the next decade.
The Phase Change Disruption of Transportation
• The On-Demand, Electric and Autonomous Disruption – Implications for Peak Oil Demand, Re-Design of Cities and Geopolitics.
• The Transportation as a Service (TaaS) phase change disruption will have dramatic implications for industries including auto, oil, shipping, logistics, parking, real estate and insurance. Implications for society, from local politics to geopolitics.
The Disruption of the Food System
• The Precision Fermentation / Food-As-Software Disruption will create a dramatically new food system — a transformation not seen in 10,000 years.
• This Phase Change Disruption will have dramatic implications for industrial agriculture, geopolitics, climate change, health, materials, investments while enabling the largest land use transformation in human history.
Solving Climate Change by 2035
• The ongoing Disruptions of Energy, Transportation, Food & Agriculture and Information mean that society can choose to reduce emissions 90% by 2035 and go net-negative by 2040 with technologies we already have.
