2016: A perfect storm
Trend 4: New Energy
With a background of increasing investments, falling prices and a radically increased demand in the developing countries, we are taking big leaps toward a sun-driven economy and at the same time we are creating deep holes in the balance sheets of the energy companies. City Bank argues that the energy companies should write down the value of their assets with 100,000 billion dollars due to falling energy prices and new technology.
If the present pace of installment of solar energy will continue, the capacity of installed sun energy in 12 years will equal the total installed energy capacity of today. And yet we have only seen the beginning of the “sunification” of developing countries. But maybe even more revolutionizing energy sources are in the works – 2016 could, if the rumors coming from early reports are true, imply the break-through for LENR, another term for cold fusion. The energy markets might already even have to have taken this into account when calculating oil prices. The chief engineer of the project Fulvio Fabiani states in an interview “I have seen things that you never would have thought could be possible”. Qui vivra verra.
