This is the executive summary for the “Look Back in Anger” global energy forecast. It’s so called because it imagines the reactions of energy industry veterans arriving in 2050 to a net-zero emission world.
Yes, that’s cause for celebration, but why were there so many barriers put in their way? Why did we make it so hard for ourselves?
To get to this moment, instead of looking through the lens of how it has always been, “Look Back in Anger” assumes key tipping points along the way.
It’s a simplified global energy model, from now until 2050 that anyone can use to test their own business assumptions.
The report assumes the effect of official decarbonisation policy in the top 21 countries by energy usage, accounting for about 84% of electricity use.
From there it plots the minimum that will be spent on renewables and builds a picture of the energy world in thirty years’ time.
By definition, this leaves a set of imponderables like:
What is the impact of home-heating and cooling in the age of electrification by 2050?
What happens when solar manufacturers double their capacity and have to sell twice as much, triggering price wars?
What happens when rooftop solar accelerates?
The report is part of the unique “Rethink Energy” research service that offers full access to all previous report plus 12 other new forecasts each year on a variety of topic drawn from batteries, solar, wind, EV recharging, and decarbonising industries like Steel.

This is the executive summary showing a few pages from Rethink Energy's "Warming and Cooling - double whammy for the grid" which is a forecast and valuation of the global electricity needs for household HVAC markets from now until 2050.
Calculating the power needed to warm and cool the world’s homes has never been harder. Not only does climate change, rising populations, a wealthier middle class need to be factored in, but also the impact of decarbonization on power generation and grid resources.
This report from Rethink Energy starts with a simple question “where will the electricity come from?”
Where HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning) is concerned, we are facing two global electrical problems. The first is how to shift homes that rely on fossil fuels to renewable; the second is to maintain and grow economic productivity in the face of soaring temperatures.
Over 58 pages, accompanied with graphs, charts and data in an accompanying spreadsheet, Warming and Cooling - double whammy for the grid:
1) describes and forecasts the size and key trends for HVAC in 21 countries that represent 84% of the world’s power generation;
2) provides a roadmap for grid planning and electricity production, depending on the penetration of electrical HVAC devices;
3) puts genuine figures which show that as more cooling is installed and as home heat gets decarbonized, global utilities will need to lay on more than 1,500 TWh in fresh power resources (that’s collectively about the same amount of electricity that India supplies to its 1 billion citizens).
You may be surprised at where the problems facing the modern grid are likely to come from. For instance, the Italy, South Korea, the UK and Japan will hit hardest, as they to convert from natural gas to renewables.

Renewable Energy Sources Can Satisfy Energy Demands
Renewable Energy
,
2012
"A fully sustainable renewable power supply is the only way we can secure energy for all and avoid environmental catastrophe."
The following viewpoint is an extract from a report undertaken by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Ecofys (a consulting firm for sustainable energy projects), and the Office for Metropolitan Architecture. The viewpoint summarizes the findings of an Ecofys study that predicted the world can switch from
fossil fuels
to a fully
renewable energy
future by 2050. According to the study, most energy will be electricity-based, and that energy will be supplied chiefly by solar power.
Wind power
, geothermal heat, and water power will also serve to create electricity and heat homes. Finally the Ecofys scenario argues that biofuels will be needed to power some transport systems and industrial processes that require liquid fuels. According to the WWF and Ecofys, the renewables-driven future will save money, stall
climate change
, and create a sustainable energy system.
As you read, consider the following questions:
According to the WWF, by what percent does the International Energy Agency predict oil and gas reserves will fall by 2030?
What percent of the world's energy needs does Ecofys claim can be satisfied by renewables in 2050?
Why does Ecofys's scenario only provide for a small increase in hydropower by 2050?
The way we produce and use energy today is not sustainable. Our main fossil fuel sources—oil,
coal
and gas—are finite natural resources, and we are depleting them at a rapid rate. Furthermore they are the main contributors to climate change, and the race to the last 'cheap' fossil resources evokes disasters for the natural environment as seen recently in the case of the [2010] BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. In the developing world, regional and local desertification is caused by depletion of fuelwood and other biomass sources that are often used very inefficiently, causing substantive indoor
pollution
and millions of deaths annually. A fully sustainable renewable power supply is the only way we can secure energy for all and avoid environmental catastrophe.
Risks and Harms of Fossil Fuels
While most of us take energy for granted as a basic right, a fifth of the world's population still has no access to reliable electricity—drastically reducing their chances of getting an education and earning a living. As energy prices increase, the world's poor will continue to be excluded.
At the same time, more than 2.7 billion people are dependent on traditional bioenergy (mainly from wood, crop residues and animal dung) as their main source of cooking and heating fuel. This is often harvested unsustainably, causing soil erosion and increasing the risk of flooding, as well as threatening biodiversity and adding to greenhouse gas
emissions

Executive summary for "Tesla versus ExxonMobil - who's right?"Simon Thompson
Here's the executive summary for Rethink Energy's definitive global forecast about EVs (Electric Vehicles) and eMobility, showing how and where 1.6 billion EVs will be over the next 30 years.
The report argues how the decline of oil consumption will be more rapid as is perceived by many; to the point where as early as 2031 prices of sub-$25 a barrel will render oil production financially unviable.
The key factors of Europe, China and Tesla – the Europeans setting laws making ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles illegal in new cars after 2035 - has led to EV penetrations well over 20% of new car sales in 2021.
It has meant that the acceptance of EV uptake has gone into overdrive. Not even a year ago, there were still industry forecasts predicting that anywhere up to two-thirds of all vehicles would be ICE by 2050.
How will opportunities for EV manufacturers (like Tesla) and EV infrastructure suppliers emerge? Where will be the most lucrative markets for electricity producers? And is the oil industry having its last hurrah? Will companies like ExxonMobil be reduced to extracting as much money from its assets in the next 6 or 7 years as possible before losing investor confidence?
The answers to these questions, and more can be found in the Rethink Energy EV forecast to 2050: Tesla versus ExxonMobil – who’s right?
Over 39 pages, accompanied with graphs, charts and data in an accompanying spreadsheet, it consists of:
1) A country by country survey of EV take-up from now till 2050, factoring in economic and legislative conditions;
2) The path leading to how 460 million charging points will be required by 2050;
3) The reasoning behind Rethink’s EV numbers and why they’re higher than the likes of Bloomberg, WoodMac and S&P (some of whom have changed course 3 times in the last year).

But wasn’t technology supposed to solve all our problems?
Elon Musk, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, who is perfectly fit for an epic tale and a Marvel blockbuster, yet still believes so. Some of his companies - PayPal, SpaceX, Hyperloop and Tesla - are aiming at rebuilding structural industries for the better: Banking, Space, Transportation and Energy.
This is our take on one of them: Tesla, a company that intends to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy by laying out a clear vision for the future, by building a 21st century industrial from scratch, and by reinventing transportation and energy through software- enabled networks.

Energy Transition: Multi-$trillion Ponzi scheme or the biggest tech market ever?Simon Thompson
Background: The conundrum of the oil price
About $100 billion a year is spent by the 5 biggest global oil companies “finding” more oil. Today $300 billion a year is spent on installing renewables like solar and windpower – almost three times what is spent by those oil companies.
But there is no money spent on “finding” new sun, as we already know where the sun is at its brightest. There is also no money spent finding out where it is windiest because we already know.
Oil company valuation
Value = oil price today X assets in the ground minus cost of getting it out
New formula
Value = oil price today (and in the future) X assets in ground minus cost of getting it out of the ground
If oil falls to $30
Value = 20% of oil worth getting out of the ground –value falls by 80%. With debt = worthless
Stop digging for new oil.
If oil falls to $20
Almost zero oil is worth getting out of the ground
So Oil industry = zero less debt - negative
Oil goes to $20 in 2043...
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
