Forty percent of the world’s shipping consists of fossil fuels to be burned
> Hell, eleven percent of the energy that America currently uses, according to Saul Griffith’s excellent book Electrify, simply goes to finding more energy.<p>That's a pretty shocking stat too!<p>The energy transition is about to thrust us into a world where for long periods of time, we have <i>massive</i> energy abundance of zero-marginal cost energy generation. It won't be free to transmit that energy, and the intermittent nature of the abundance will play hell with most capital intensive uses (eg crypto mining), but I'm super curious to see what new capabilities that people figure out for humanity.
