Electricity is the future for all energy

It’s everywhere, it’s fungible and it’s the future

Some people claim that biofuels are the future. Others claim that it’s hydrogen. But they are wrong, and there are seven overlapping reasons why.

• Fungibility
• Ubiquity
• Loose coupling
• Electronics outperform the physical
• Human nature
• Economics
• The future is already here

They come from different intellectual domains, including economics, software, and speculative fiction, but all have strong explanatory value when considering transformation. These are “all else being equal” elements. If a solution is stronger in one of these elements but equal in all the rest, that solution will likely dominate.

Together, they strongly indicate that the future of clean technology is electric.
