Interview with Bill Nussey
Breaking the Gordian Knot of energy thinking by 2035 with author of Freeing Energy
The energy sector is a monolithic giant set up to supply consistent energy to all of us. That model has worked well for over one hundred and thirty years, but the question we have to ask is, can that monolithic energy system react and change fast enough for the world around us? Our quest, Bill Nussey, the author of Freeing Energy, believes that we need a fundamentally different engine to break what he calls the grid monopoly, which will look very old-world by 2033. He argues this is a moral imperative as we should build an engine system that delivers what our future grandchildren can live with.
The Inflation reduction act, with its $369 Billion, is the largest energy bill in the history of the world. This is when we need to think about freeing energy in the same ways we have ideas like farm-to-table in food, regional, seasonal and mixed.
