# Trend: The Future of Energy In the Era of Acceleration (Renewables, Storage, MicroGrid, Electric Cars and the Death of Carbon)

What’s the future of energy?

I hit the virtual broadcast studio for a virtual keynote for a rural energy group. I break it down into 20 key trends of accelerating realities that define our future. Right around the same time last week, I did a keynote for the leadership team of Siemens Energy on ‘what comes next’ in this industry – one of the most exciting industries around today!

Want to explore the trends?

Here’s a playlist of short, sharp shocks of insight, each 3 to 4 minutes in length.

And then, for the fun of it, I hit the studio again to film the same material, albeit in a little bit of a less formal manner.
