Curious Saturday: The future of energy is abundant, not scarce
In his recent TED Talk, Matt Tilleard explains that for most of history, whoever controlled energy resources controlled the world. But renewable energy flips that logic. Once you build a solar panel or wind farm, the fuel is free.
That’s not just cleaner energy — it’s a fundamental shift from scarcity to abundance. And that abundance opens new opportunities for innovation, resilience, and shared prosperity, especially in regions that have long been left out of the energy conversation.
It’s a timely reminder: the best thing that can happen to the energy industry isn’t more extraction — it’s more imagination.
