The Future of Energy and the 30X Problem
by David Koerner | at Minnebar 20
In the next decade, it is predicted that the rising energy demands of AI and electrification will require millions of new tech workers and thousands of new, billion dollar companies. Thats because the transition to sustainable, carbon free energy requires 70TW of clean energy by 2050. To accomplish this, the US power grid will have to be almost completely reimagined and rebuilt. New energy sources must be found, developed, and dispatched, and doing so requires hardware, software, and business models that do not exist today.
This is called the 30X problem.
Back for a fourth year at Minnebar, this rapid-fire summary will highlight the leading startups and discoveries in the world of solar, wind, nuclear, hydrogen and geo power. It will suggest what the future of energy might look like for technologists here in Minnesota: founders, engineers, designers, investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in clean energy.
