#16 Tom Raftery | The Case For Renewable Energy To Usurp Oil & Gas

Tom Raftery is the Global VP, Futurist, and Innovation Evangelist for SAP, an inspirational keynote speaker and global influencer on how digitization and innovation are creatively disrupting our world.I first heard Tom feature on Smarter Markets with Erik Townsend and was blown away by his optimistic worldview. True to his Irish roots, he communicated a narrative with charisma that is so often bumbled and fluffed around by his scientific comrades.Renewable energy has a lot of bad PR working against it. There is certainly merit to being sceptical in the face of change, but since we know that our current energy consumption is destroying the planet why is the green message so hard to swallow?Jump In On My Newsletter 📋 🔑 - https://atlasgeographica.com/subscribe/​-------00:00 - What Is A Futurist?03:20 - Information Consumption05:16 - Tom's Renewable Energy Worldview22:30 - If Renewables Are Already More Efficient, Why Are They Not Cheaper?33:54 - What Do You Estimate Is Most Unlikely To Transpire According To Your Worldview?39:20 - What Is The Most Exciting Innovation You See?44:07 - What Country Are You Most Bullish On?------Links To Tom Raftery's WorkTom Raftery Website - https://tomraftery.com/Climate 21 - https://tomraftery.com/podcasts/Digital Supply Chain Podcast - https://tomraftery.com/podcasts/-----LEAVE YOUR ENERGY IN THE ALGORITHM - 5 STARS & SUBSCRIBE!Are you into Nassim Taleb?
