The global energy transition is moving fast—are you ready for what comes next? Today’s guest is Kingsmill Bond, energy strategist at Ember, who joins the show to unpack the seismic shift underway in how we power our world—and why clinging to outdated solutions could spell economic stagnation. He introduces “electrotech,” the production of electricity from solar and wind, smart usage via EVs and heat pumps, and connected technologies like batteries and grids. These innovations benefit from steep learning curves and exponential growth, making them cheaper and faster to scale than fossil fuels.
Listen in as Kingsmill shares how energy security is being redefined, why countries reliant on imports face growing risks, and how forward-thinking policies can dramatically cut electricity costs. This episode is a must-listen for leaders ready to embrace electrification—not as a moral imperative, but as a strategic advantage in a rapidly evolving world.
