The industrial age of energy and transportation will be over by 2030. Maybe before. Exponentially improving technologies such as solar, electric vehicles, and autonomous (self-driving) cars will disrupt and sweep away the energy and transportation industries as we know it. The Stone Age did not end because we ran out of rocks. It ended because a disruptive technology ushered in the Bronze Age. The era of centralized, command-and-control, extraction-resource-based energy sources (oil, gas, coal and nuclear) will not end because we run out of petroleum, natural gas, coal, or uranium. It will end because these energy sources, the business models they employ, and the products that sustain them will be disrupted by superior technologies, product architectures, and business models. The same Silicon Valley ecosystem that created bit-based technologies that have disrupted atom-based industries is now creating bit- and electron-based technologies that will disrupt atom-based energy industries. This is a technology-based disruption reminiscent of how the cell phone, Internet, and personal computer swept away industries such as landline telephony, publishing, and mainframe computers. Just like those technology disruptions flipped the architecture of information and brought abundant, cheap and participatory information, the clean disruption will flip the architecture of energy and bring abundant, cheap and participatory energy. Just like those previous technology disruptions, the clean disruption is inevitable and will be swift. The industrial age of energy and transportation is already giving way to an information technology and knowledge-based energy and transportation era. Review: Great Future Insights...!! - Tony Seba has given great insights of future energy industry. I wanted to buy this book after I listened to the talk by tony seba, I wanted to get the detailed statestics which were covered by him in his talk. This book is a great read for those who want know details about future of energy industry and its market. Tony Seba has all the fact based details of how energy industry is going to get disrupted in near future and how when it is combined with Electric Vehicle will turn out to be deadly for oil and allied indutries... Read on...! Review: Very valuable and informative. - Amazed at the amount of water and land used by earlier energy sources. The arguments for future of solar energy, electric and autonomous vehicles were very informative

Great insights..bold arithmetic..
The author has a sense of clarity that typically comes from years of research and thorough analysis of reliable data. He is fearless in his conclusions and pulls no punches. Would be great to hear how the conventional energy players counter this thesis of their demise.

Prophetic!
Written in 2014, read in 2024… most of what was predicted bu the book has become reality. Unfortunately Big Oil still has a strong grip on world politicians. Hope that sheer economics will end oil age soon.

Zukunfvision einfach erklärt
Tony Seba, der Autor dieses Buches (deutsche Übersetzung soll noch publiziert werden) hat früher für Cisco (Netzwerkaustatter) gearbeitet und ist ein Dozent auf der renomierten Stanford Universität. Er hat bereits mehrere Bücher veröffentlicht und hält an vielen Orten seine Vorträge. In "Clean Disruption" (auf Deutsch: saubere Unterbrechung / Umwälzung) beschreibt er wie es in Vergangenheit zu Umwälzung durch neue disruptive Techniken gekommen sind. Beispiele: Substitution der Pferdekutschen durch Autos, Verdrängung der Filmkameras durch Digitalkameras und Smartphones, Umwälzung in der Musik- und Filmbranche durch das Internet und skizziert dass ein Großteil von uns im Jahre 2030 mit Elektroauto unterwegs sein werden, der Strom 100% aus der Solar und Windenergie gespeist werden und belegt es mit Marktdaten. Tatsächlich ist seine Prognose bezüglich der Preisentwicklung der Akkus für Autos eingetreten, was viele Experten aus der Autoindustrie für nicht möglich gehalten haben. Ich fand seine Ausführung sehr interessant und lesenswert. Es gibt auch einige Vorträge von ihm auf Youtube zu sehen.

Muy interesante pero demasiado parcial
Altamente recomendable para los que quieran tener una visión optimista y amplia del potencial de las nuevas tecnologías "limpias". Muy buen libro para conocer el verdadero potencial de la energía fotovoltaica, almacenamiento en baterías, coche eléctrico y coche autónomo, así como su potencial disruptor. Tengo una clara objeción al libro: Para llamar al libro "clean" falta una valoración de los costes medio ambientales de la producción de baterías y FV, que no se menciona una sola vez frente a las incontables valoraciones de los problemas medioambientales de otras tecnologías. De algún modo, ésto resta credibilidad a la tesis del autor.
