#XEnergy @davidbent comment: @volansjohn has found rich seam for #sustainability movement to delve deeper w #breakthrough & #exponential.

#XEnergy @volansjohn advice: We need to go from incremental to exponential thinking. Disrupt. Decentralise. Democratise. Decarbonise.

#XEnergy @volansjohn: @CovestroGroup moving on many fronts: wind turbine blades; new catalysts (so carbon capture & *utilisation*). #good

#XEnergy what excites @volansjohn on energy? @Phillips selling Lumens. @EnelGroup to renewables. @DeepMindAI algorithms. @OffGridE in Africa

#XEnergy @volansjohn shows the decadal waves of change from #breakthrough business models publication http://volans.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Volans_Breakthrough-Business-Models_Report_Sep2016.pdf …

#XEnergy @volansjohn says #energy is getting disrupted, decentralised, democratised & decarbonised.

#XEnergy @volansjohn sign of energy going exponential Saudi prince putting $2b into transition to post-oil

#XEnergy @volansjohn starts by congratulating @JimWoodsUK @thecurve on the event and reinventing themselves continuously. Thanks!

#XEnergy @volansjohn concludes by sharing his thoughts on #exponential mindset, from 10% increase to 10x (when the slides work!)

#XEnergy @agamemnonotero #energyrevolution part wider #shift to peer2peer. Incumbents risk protecting their past, not creating our future.

#XEnergy Q. What happens to companies that stay with the marginal approach? @volansjohn Investors will judge quality of mngt on their intent

#XEnergy @davidbent comment: suggest @volansjohn checks out @Forum4theFuture's @FuturesCentre for attempts to engage now emerging tech.

#XEnergy @volansjohn 'who in the #sustainability world is engaging with emerging technologies at this formative stage?'

#XEnergy @volansjohn challenges the panelists to consider the blindspots of technologies, & the socio-economic systems evolve around them.

#XEnergy @AgamemnonOtero points out that incumbent solutions may not be best suited to what is possible let alone needed, esp for #prosumer.

#XEnergy @npowerhq: data is key to riding #EnergyRevolution. Will we be trading data abt energy production & use *more* than energy itself?

#XEnergy @HitachiEurope runs innovation lab w 20 yr horizon. Energy #insight from 'sell what make' to 'AI to match production w demand'
