Tony Seba: Clean Disruption - Energy & Transportation
Colorado Renewable Energy Society (CRES)1 HN recommender · recommended in 1 month, 2017–2019
talk · general · 2017–2019 on HN
Stanford futurist Tony Seba argues that electric vehicles, battery storage, solar and autonomous vehicles form a 10x exponential disruption that will make fossil fuels obsolete within about a decade. It draws on his Clean Disruption book.
HN commenters cite it as a big-picture case for exponential solar and EV adoption, usually with caveats about whether his predictions will hold.

but hopefully coming down considerably. Watch this youtube vide of Tony Seba ▶ this video (Stanford University futurist Tony Seba spent the last decades studying technological disruptions. He argues that the Electric Vehicle, battery storage, and solar power, along with autonomous vehicles, are a perfect example of a 10x exponential process which will wipe )
We could be at the point where solar adoption takes off exponentially. On a big picture view: Tony Seba: Clean Disruption - Energy & Transportation ▶ this video On a more micro level view: Solar power solutions coming to places with no grid: link
Well, if (big IF ?!) Tony Seba is right, it'll all be over by 2030 anyway for traditional ICE cars (private ownership of ICE cars to be replaced by fleets of autonomic electrically powered taxis): ▶ this video
