Episode 37: Living in an All-Electric Economy

Peter and Dan discuss the massive change coming to the energy industry — in particular, the switch to an all-electric economy in the next 20 years. With governments and large corporations relying on oil and gas, they discuss how this disruption will impact society.

In this episode:

• Peter gives a brief history of the energy economy and how humanity has transitioned from firepower to solar.
  

• Dan discusses his belief that technology is not replaced by another technology unless there is at least a 10X improvement.
  

• Peter discusses his belief that car ownership is going to be dead by 2025, which means we no longer own a car, but instead own a “car as a service.”
