Clean Disruption - Why Energy & Transportation will be Obsolete by 2030 - Oslo, March 2016

[@uhjustsomeguy]

I clicked on the video thinking I would only watch 5 minutes or so, but I was glued to my chair the entire time.

[@2007carf]

same here

[@zhuanzhang1424]

same here :-)

[@shafique1]

this happened to me as well, so crisp & clear method of presenting the subject.

[@Vinmerlin]

Me too ! :-)

[@eoinoconnell185]

Exactly the same. If only all powerpoint presentations could be that engrossing.

[@Wirmish]

Clean Disruption of Energy and Transportation: 1. Energy Storage -> *Tesla* 2. Electric Vehicles -> *Tesla* 3. Self-Driving Cars -> *Tesla* 4. Solar PV -> *Tesla*

[@michaelallen4763]

Yes I think it is a buy though the crowd will follow quickly

[@krasserTerror]

4. Solar energy -> SolarCity, now: Tesla But this is all old news. Elon is now working on AI, tunnel boring and Brain interfaces.

[@YevezNutZ]

@@michaelallen4763 If we just look at China, you have BYD (Build you dream) that already produces electric cars, buses (completely electrified their native city, Shenzen, with 16,000 pure electric buses) and trucks. As well they are quickly becoming one of the biggest manufacturers of solar panels in a friendly market as China has set the bar very high for electrification. They also have an electric skyrail available!!

[@B0bSim0n]

The only Problem with Tesla (i like Tesla) ist that, like with thermic cars, there are sport cars and useful cars. Teslas are eletrical sport cars. They are too fast (their acceleration) and too big battery. But great cars. The model 3 is the way to go and the fast cars were necessary to make its publycity and funds.

[@VladimirGamolin]

I'm watching it in November 2019, he turned out 90% precise with his predictions! It's amazing!

[@josephreinhart8712]

Every high school student and university student should be required to see this. It is our future, but the way he puts it...it is an entire semester of knowledge in one hour.

[@joseledesma4776]

That's insane! I've never been able to watch something this glued to the computer screen. Bitter sweet but this guy is speaking the truth.

[@SimondeWeerdt]

Thank you for this, I have passed it on to a number of folks, many of whom have passed it on as well.

[@douglasgray3206]

I really enjoyed that talk. It gave me hope for the future. I cant wait to read your book.

[@Mani-vc1gb]

Superb walkthrough into the future

[@rrsouri]

It's really great and eye opening..

[@ChispyReddit]

After watching this... It made me realize that Elon Musk may have been sent from the future.

[@Vinmerlin]

Maybe ! Who knows. It is definitely possible.

[@TagmakersCoUk]

Knowledge is power - and knowledge is what enables visionaries. Musk is a voracious reader and consumes knowledge like a sponge. The key to a bright future is in education, and sadly, most schools (all over the world) are failing our future generations. Huge swathes of the US population remain ignorant and uneducated - as do large numbers of people in the UK and Europe.

[@MerkleFunds]

That's why Elon is so chill and sure about everything...like he's already seen it all happen...It's exactly how I'd act if I went back in time bahaha

[@davesworld7961]

Musk is like a modern day Tesla who can fund his own projects.

extremely exciting times. You have given me the mind set to get rid of my vehicle completely, not just down size as Ive been thinking about. Now is the time to find where in this disruption I can position myself to take advantage of some of the businesses opportunities. great content. keep it coming. thank you

[@TheCanada1]

We replaced both our dinosaur burners with two EV's. One with 120 km of range and one with 200 KM of range. It was a bit of a test for us to see they they would suit our needs. Happily they do, 100 percent. Cost was about 50,000 total for the two. We bought on the outgoing model year on both and saved a bundle. We needed at least one of them to be fast charge CHaDemo compatible for longer trips but really we do most of our charging at night at home. The recharge network is getting bigger really quick though. Probably double the stations in the last two years in British Columbia where we live.

[@timothyhammer6154]

What an incredible video. I will be sharing this with everyone I know.

[@ElizabethRe]

well done Tony, great presentation, no one would have thought ten years ago people would pay $6 for a bottle of water ! the world is changing and electric driver less cars and transport are the way to go and yes it is disruptive for the better

[@ecosynergy2009]

So excited to be part of this industry. We have successfully helped multiple home owners and some public and commercial buildings run 100% on renewable energy. As mentioned, they still have to pay their transmission fees but their operation costs have gone down to nothing. This is what Net-Zero Energy is. You generate as much energy as you require on a yearly basis. Gotta love what we do!

[@koderkanin9525]

construct cycle highways 10 km in / out of town. The electrik bike is already invented, and this is the superior technology to transport a single person around in a big city.

[@windowtintpro8886]

Wow, that was fantastic information, thank you very much!

[@azasel82]

wow such mind blowing, I did not knew we were this close, seems like science fiction, a citadel with selfdriving cars and no more grid just solar panels with batteries and no need for fuel transportation, wish I have some money to start investing in solar

[@chamagical]

Joseth F : you won't have to invest; see 45:10 business model!

[@youspilledthis]

6months intervals here but I think he was talking about putting money in solar panel stocks. And yeah the smart money is now.

[@profpbsharma3654]

Tony Seba's presentation is highly inspiring and a wake up call for our readiness for radical transformation caused by disruptive Technologies.

[@JamieBelinda]

By far the most interesting speech about EV and its future.

[@offgridgetawaycamp8034]

The future looks bright. The oil companies will not like this though.

[@ralphparker]

nor coal, or any other energy sector. There is going to be a lot of folks needing work in 13 years. Maybe the Solar Cell and battery industry will need them.

[@andrewhockings7639]

Luckily there's nothing they or anyone else can do to stop it. It will happen regardless of anything.

[@JoeHarper1]

This time it is not a bunch of idealists fighting them though, it is Google, Apple, Tesla, some of the largest corporations on earth. the pockets are deep enough to overcome their lobby power.

[@andrewhockings7639]

The oil companies are doomed it's just we're not told that. Read this. Slightly scary as it also means the US economy is going to crash, badly but it has to happen so we will just all have to ride it out. Will be fun on the other side though : ) srsroccoreport.com/the-blood-bath-continues-in-the-u-s-major-oil-industry/

[@Vinmerlin]

Yeah, a lot of jobs will be displaced to other sectors of the industry. But the trend is that automation of industrial processes will reduce the necessity of workers. We will have to change our economy because not everybody will be able to have a job and we cant have a nation of unemployed poor people in the streets. Big changes are coming.

[@mjocallaghan5180]

Best youtube video I have ever watched. Tony Seba knows how to tell the "story". It used to be that going off the grid was a groovy or nerdy lifestyle decision. When I put 4.3 kw of PV on my house >10 years ago I was told I was making my house a little weird, yet now it is the norm.

[@BryceLovesTech]

I can't wait to have no gas bill and no power bill what a beautiful future this will be

[@jibrankhalil4837]

Only death and taxes are certain in life.

[@rissalapolo82]

[@KiranChheda]

Excellent. Perspective change to be noted by one and all. Please watch

[@ajithnarayanan3794]

Superb Presentation

[@manuelgarciabarbero1872]

Great Job Tony. Really Impressive!!!

[@morganbrown3045]

My frugal son-in-law wanted an EV but didn't want to pay $30k for new. He found a 3 year old Nisson Leaf lease return for $8k. Looks great, runs well and he loves it. So those who don't have a new EV budget or would rather use their money elsewhere can still get in the game for a reasonable price.

[@helenan.i.kristiansen1635]

morgan brown You are so right 👍🏼😃 We have just bought a Nissan Leaf model 2014 at half price of the new!👍🏼😃 It drives amazing, and it cost us less than half to have and maintain, than an ICE car. If you have doubts about changing to an EV, try this. For a week or more, try to write down every Day how far you are driving, I mean, in our life we drive to and from work, do the shopping as well, it is 50 miles a day, then you charge it at home during the night, wake up with full battery, and put on the heat, or aircon in the car from your breakfast table via an app!👍🏼😃 It is so cool😃 And then we drive to visit family, and we Can even charge at their home, while having Fun, and dining, again driving home with a full battery. Nissan Leaf drives 84-100 miles on a fully charged battery😃👍🏼 When you wrap your mind around that your "fuel" is always near, both at home or with friends, and family, they all have electricity!😃👍🏼⚡️. It is only a little more tricky if you live in an apartment building, and there is no charging points near you.😁🤔

[@andreasng]

this is an incredible talk. thank you - it points out some pretty obvious things, especially the car statements and the parking.

[@House_Of_Cards_]

If BMW, Ford, Chevrolet and all the other big manufacturers dont start now building electric vehicles they will become bankrupt in the next decade. This is Kodak vs digital all over again.

[@rolfbohme5515]

Great explanation of disruptions!

[@mattobadia]

my brain wasn't just blown, it was nuked.

[@frokenstein]

Fascinating! Thank you, Tony.

[@ralphparker]

I wasn't expecting this good of a presentation. Just the other day I did a trade off study of a DIY install of a solar PV home install. Pay off was in 13 years at 5% on investment. I believe Mr Seba is on the money. Exciting times are ahead.

[@CyrilAndPriscilla]

Tony has always been substantially correct, but is a little off sometimes. He said at 29:11 that by 2022 the industry will be able to build a $20,000 EV. It's currently 2023, and the cheapest EV available is the Chevy Bolt at $27,000--- NOT $20,000. IJS.

[@nigelweir3852]

Right on , infinity and beyond, now that's talking. I've been saying this for ten years

[@TagmakersCoUk]

Nigel... same here... what's so encouraging is to see what all intelligent people know, backed up with facts and economic logic. How tragic it is that fools like Trump refuse to acknowledge irreversible progress.

[@MaxMax-dq1lu]

I was lead here by googling ur name , having seen it in a 'Telegraph' article. So glad, I came, I watched, I subscribed ! As usual, I am ahead of the curve... I have Solar, I have an EV, just need the battery storage now. Unfortunately people in places like the UK will still need our grid connection as there is not enough solar power in the depths of winter.

[@clarthepio]

Mind Blown!!!!! Bloody brilliant. You should do a TEDx!

[@andrewhockings7639]

Interesting that his graphs are the same ones from 4-5 years ago. Some are way out already. He has Lithium reaching $100 by 2024! Looking now like it might happen before 2020, possibly 2018-19. This of course highlights exactly what he's saying. Not even he is getting it right as it's moving so fast now. I must have watched this in it's various forms 20 times now.. : )

[@AcmePotatoPackingPocatello]

Fantastic ...most interesting hour I've ever spent online.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Very exciting - thanks so much for this - I have shared it on our platforms - Green Renaissance. Thank you.

[@Intertronz]

Fascinating video! I'm eager to see these disruptive technological revolutions occur. The only thing that makes me worry is if governments actively labor to thwart these new technologies (like when Spain passed a "sun tax" effectively wiping out the solar industry in the country for a time).

[@bakyt-3d]

no more wars for oil, fights will be for water.

[@vincentwhite7693]

Not with cheap renewable energy to power desalination plants .... YAY!

[@autohmae]

+Vincent knows.

[@StefenTower]

Further, desalination technology will become cheaper with proper investment.

[@baronvonlimbourgh1716]

Desalination will be a cheap side product of over capacity.

[@jimharris5524]

wow what an interesting talk

[@hazelsct]

Very compelling presentation. There's a lot of really good stuff here. Just one issue: vehicle utilization is not going to go to 60-80%, because there's a lot of transportation downtime at night, and the system has to handle peak commuting capacity. 40-50% is a stretch goal. Even so, that's a heck of a lot more than today's 5-10%. And I agree with everything else in this presentation.

[@ralphhull2625]

Fantastic ~ It reinforces my thinking of the last ten years, and my beliefs and investments of the last five years. My thinking goes quite beyond this in fact, but these are very basics. Invest in the future, SOLAR, not the past, tar oil and coal. Fracking, site C dam, pipelines, will be obsolete before they reach their amortization.

[@markt2831]

Great stuff thanks for posting this. Love the McKinsey fail from the 80s :-)

[@adarshkeswani2319]

Great seminar

[@DavidZMorris1]

I have to question the idea that merely consolidating the battery supply chain is going to cut costs by up to 50%. Transportation costs are a miniscule part of almost any assembly/manufacturing process, which is why companies like Apple and car manufacturers are able to move things around so much and still cut costs.

[@helenan.i.kristiansen1635]

Thank you Tony This is mindblowing, and spot on!!👍🏼😃 Most people havent seen it coming, we are all kept in the dark, they cant sell their ICE cars if everybody knew this!👍🏼😃❤️ But as you predict, they cant hold an avalanche back, even thoug they will try!😁 But we need to relaxe, and spread this video, it will all happen no matter what!. Strong forces are working for it to happen, as you say, it is now!👍🏼😃 Did you know, that Algeria in Africa off all countries, are installing a 4 Gigawatt solar panel plant right now, and United Emirates are doing the same!!👍🏼😃😍 While they are slowing down solar in many Countries, some have seen the light, so to speak. If they dont start jumping on that energy train, you are showing here, its going to be to late. They get thrown out into the dark, because it will be hard to catch up!. Very exiting times to live in. You cant stop Technology, and the disruption, as seen before!😃👍🏼

[@scottsiemer]

Fantastic presentation! Absolutely agree with you. Concise overview of intersecting tech and economics. One caveat - 2000 moving parts vs 17 moving parts is engine/motor only. :-)

[@viidopolikarpus2431]

Thank you for the clear analysis of what is happening and what most likely will be!

[@rollopost]

Great video. Some assumptions are a little skewed but the macro view is solid. For example EV utilisation will never be that high as demand is cyclical plus it still takes time to charge, ideally when the sun shines if solar is to be that significant. Depreciation rates on these vehicles will be high, particularly on the batteries which as yet have a limited number of cycles.

[@HerzensFolger]

Tanh u so much for this great keynote 🙌🏽💪

[@NeilRamroop33]

Thanks so much for this talk, @Tony Seba! Subscribed :). I think what struck me the most was the breakdown of our automobile utilization... really eye-opening. I did lose you at a couple points though: first with the fridge battery at the 7-Eleven (17:30), and again with the Zero Money Down Solar panels (45:16). Someone has to pay for that initial investment, right? Is the idea that in lieu of a down payment, the installation cost is paid over time out of the savings? Thanks again!

[@ftbsecret]

I realize it's a late reply. But it are companies that lease/rent it out basically. They buy and install it for a monthly payment. House owner gets cheaper electricity from owns roof production without having to worry with the upfront cost or maintenance. The company invests money for pursage and installment for a montly return like how most investments work :-)

[@jondog9]

25:17 _ referring to the tesla reliability_ "You can drive this thing to the moon and back". Lol. EM must have taken that statement to heart.

Fantastic insight.

[@richardrichmorse]

The transformation awn from hydrocarbons can only be slowed by bureaucrats writing rules to force the change. Just get out of the way and let the market do it. Fantastic.

[@acomfortb]

This video tickles my imagination but it raises a few questions What is the percentage of the houses that are too shaded to produce much solar energy? How does Tony Seba's future affect the labor market? It has been said that half of the men in the US are employed as drivers. Whatever the truth, it is a lot. How does exponential growth interact with finite resources? (The Limits to Growth) Can our civilization or politicians make the changes necessary to adapt without chaos?

[@helenan.i.kristiansen1635]

Arlen Comfort Hi Arlen go to Google Project Sunroof It is Google who has made a Map over sunroof possibility In the US!👍🏼😃 And yes!, this talk is mindblowing!.

You have to have patience to sit through this, but every smart thinking person should do it. Your life will be different...within the decade.... for certain. We will probably have to artificially slow the rate of change (if we can), just to deal with the societal implications. I remain an optimist. :-)

[@marcelopacheco2479]

Solar in Australia is cheaper than transmission because no net metering. You buy retail and sell at 2/3 discount, and batteries are already cheaper than the arbitration.

If only our Norwegian government would open their eyes, we could all be part of this change, but as things look now everybody is just holding their breath for higher oil prices.

[@musicman53]

Fascinating presentation Tony. I'm looking forward to seeing your next updated presentation reflecting Musk's "Secret Master Plan pas deux" and the Gigafactory Grand Opening.

[@thefisherking78]

My only gripe here was this not including anything about wind power, which is blowing up pretty fast too and has great complementary attributes when combined with solar and/or hydro (which also functions as storage). It may not be coming down as fast, but it too is cheaper than most legacy FF methods and still falling quickly.

[@bakyt-3d]

there are moving parts in windmills so there are maintenance costs. so it can't compete with solar.

[@jonathanpotter608]

In my experience we underestimate the quantum of change but often make wrong assumption about where the disruptive changes will occur. I remember Bill Gates saying we would not need programmers because we would all be talking to computers. On of my university lectures saying in 1972 that computer programmers would die out in a few years. Did not happen. But I can also remember when CEOs were saying things like show me where somebody is making money out of the Internet and then I will get interested. They were already too late and have either gone out of business or become much smaller. I give you Amazon as an interesting case study. I read many comments about how they had been running for a number f years but were still to make any money. I found this presentation compelling and I had to watch to the end. He may not be right in every detail but I am sure he is right overall.

[@2006afghan]

Everything is looking good for me ,but How about prices for lithium?

[@baronvonlimbourgh1716]

Lithium is abundant. Just the cobalt is pretty rare. But that will be solved eventually as preasure rises and investment flows in.

[@scottfranco1962]

Pretty good presentation. I would only change: attitudes like AT&Ts are not a mistake, but rather a fundamental reason big companies fail against revolutions. Self delusion is an integral part of why new companies take over. AT&T didn't fail to predict takeover technologies just once. They did it several times. AT&T was offered the ability to create the Internet, and they considered it a waste of their time and passed on it. Taxi companies didn't respond to Uber by rolling out services equal to Uber, such as easy payment, tracking cabs on a map, ability to contact the driver, etc. Instead they tried to fight against Uber using government and the courts. The next such big company is clearly Comcast, which is showing all of the features of an arrogant huge cash cow waiting to be taken down.

[@BestofBCT]

If there is some kind of energy transition going on why is it year over year more and more FF is burned?
