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.
