Podcast 15 Can we have abundant energy, and what happens then?

from Randall van Poelvoorde on Tech & Robots · host Randall van Poelvoorde

Send a text Today, I want to discuss energy with you. While energy is not a technology per se, I spend a lot of time on it because our entire world runs on energy. Without energy, there is no technology. Without energy, there is nothing. The most modern wars have been fought over the control of energy sources, specifically oil. In short, energy plays a significant role in our lives. It's good to realize that all energy on Earth is actually solar energy. Sometimes it’s direct solar energy when we use solar panels, but more often it’s indirect solar energy. The oil we pump from the ground to fuel our cars consists of organic remains millions of years old. These organic remains grew through solar energy, a process we call photosynthesis. This is the chemical process plants use to convert sunlight into growth. So, all plants also run on solar energy. The only form of energy I can think of that isn’t directly derived from the sun is energy from a nuclear power plant. But as you know, a large part of our current world still runs on fossil fuels. Many people want us to move away from this, and I agree. It’s not good for the planet, and one day it will run out. Ik nodig je van harte uit om regelmatig naar mijn podcast te luisteren. We zullen het hebben over fascinerende technologieën en uitvindingen. We bespreken de problemen en de kansen. We zullen ons samen afvragen hoe de wereld eruit zou kunnen zien. Ik beloof je dat het een spannende, leuke en optimistische reis zal worden. Een reis vol robots, kunstmatige intelligentie, zelfrijdende auto's en duurzame energie. Een reis vol vragen en antwoorden. Een reis vol verwondering en verbazing. Maar ook een reis met veel herkenning. Ik ga deze afleveringen met groot plezier maken en kijk ernaar uit om jouw reacties te horen. Ik zou het zeer waarderen als je je abonneert op deze show!
