[Lekooks] Upcoming program at LCUUC

[Gerald Flakas]

Will the coming revolution in clean energy and transportation transform our world?

 

The Green Sanctuary Committee will present a video on “Clean Disruption of Energy and Transportation” featuring Stanford University lecturer and serial entrepreneur Tony Seba, followed by discussion and refreshments, at LCUUC on Sunday November 12 from 7 to 9 pm*

The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stones. It ended because superior technology disrupted the old order, and made it obsolete!

We have seen equally profound disruptions over the course of the last couple hundred years (some within our own lifetimes):

·        The printing press revolutionized communication and enabled the Reformation and Western Democracy

·        The steam engine and water power displaced animal and human power in the early 1800’s, and brought about the Industrial Revolution, totally transforming how and where people live and work, and leading to massive destruction of our natural environment.

·        The internal combustion engine automobile around 1900 totally transformed transportation and living patterns throughout Western Europe and North America, and spread throughout the world.

·        Radio and Television in 1st half of the 20th Century again transformed communication and how information is distributed, and led to enormous changes in peoples’ lifestyles.

·        Computers in the 2nd half of the 20th Century totally transformed finance and manufacturing to replace humans in many (and ultimately, all) low-skill and manual jobs**.

·        The Internet interconnected the entire world and enabled mass dissemination of unfiltered information***.

·        The Cell Phone totally transformed how people communicate and is making print media obsolete.

·        And now, Solar Energy (wind and solar electric) and energy storage (batteries, super capacitors, and hydrogen/fuel cells) are about to transform our world of transportation and energy production and utilization!

Join us on November 12 evening to view Tony Seba’s video and discussion afterward.

It will be an eye-opener.
