Hannah Ritchie at Sustainability by Numbers:
Most of the discussion on the move from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy is about tackling climate change. Quite rightly: that was the main reason I got into “this” in the first place and remains a key motivation. But that framing is very much about simply solving a problem. In reality, there is also a much more exciting change going on, one that can create opportunity and radically shift how we think about energy overall.
Ember put this forward even more strongly as what they call the “Electrotech Revolution”. Today, they published a chunky and insight-rich slide deck on how “how electrotech is rewriting the economics and geopolitics of energy”.
I recommend you take a look at the slide deck in full. If you like what I discuss in my Substack, then I have no doubts that you’ll find something interesting in there (even if there are parts you disagree with).
Here, I wanted to pick out a few of the slides that get this across conceptually.
