The Energy Disruption Triangle: Three Sectors That Will Change How We Generate, Use, and Store Energy Hardcover -

It's easy to underestimate the pace of technology development. When Thomas Edison started installing lightbulbs in the homes of the rich and famous, hardly anyone imagined that, within 20 years, the gas lighting companies would be out of business and there would be 30 competing electrical companies operating in New York City alone. Similarly, when the first cell phones started to appear on the market, no one guessed that the devices would fit snugly in the pockets of well over half of the world's population within just a couple of short decades.

We are currently in the midst of another disruptive revolution in technology--an energy revolution. Although there have been plenty of books written about the individual parts of this new disruption, The Energy Disruption Triangle is the first to really look comprehensively at the "big three" energy technologies changing the way we live today: solar energy, electric vehicles, and energy storage. Although most of us can sense that a change is coming, author David Fessler argues that we are almost certainly not prepared to understand just how soon that change will be here.

Is it possible that, within 20 years, everyone will be driving electric cars, the vast majority of fossil fuels will remain in the ground, and the morning smog report will be a thing of the past? The Energy Disruption Triangle delves into the past, present, and future of sustainable energy to reveal that, not only is it possible, it's nearly inevitable. Going beyond the theoretical, David Fessler provides tangible evidence and concrete advice that will help readers prepare their homes, families, and businesses for the coming energy disruption. We can weather this impending, fast-paced energy disruption, if we start now.
