Would You Take These Bets About Cars, Cities and Voice Control? (Rebroadcast)

Would You Take These Bets About Cars, Cities and Voice Control? (Rebroadcast)

We’re undergoing some great changes here on The Interchange! We’re bringing on a new producer and we’re going to be featuring new voices that will help us tackle the energy transition in new and compelling ways.

So while we reorient ourselves, we are bringing you an episode from 2018 called “8 bets about the future.” We debated and bet on a bunch of different scenarios for the coming decades.

This is one of our favorite shows. It’s a good one to bring up from the archives as we prepare ourselves for the decade ahead.

The bets we discuss:

Bet #1: Bug will control machines with her voice more than with her keyboard.

Bet #2: Bug will never personally drive a car.

Bet #3: By the time Bug buys her first home, especially if she’s in an urban environment, her surroundings will transformed.

Bet #4: By the time Bug shops for her own groceries, >20% of her produce will be grown indoors

Bet #5: In Bug’s first home of her own, more than half of her electricity load will dynamically respond to grid or price signals

Bet #6: By the time Bug reaches 30 (in the year 2050), electricity’s market share of final energy consumption will more than double.

Bet #7: More than 50% of Bug’s electricity, as represented by the national breakdown, will come from renewables by the time she’s a sophomore in high school.

Bet #8 : Bug will live over 200 years, and for most of her life, electricity will be her only food.
