Just as the Industrial Revolution turned coal and oil into engines of progress, today we’re witnessing a slower, quieter transformation fueled by electricity. Back then, the ability to refine and harness high-density energy from oil changed everything, from faster production lines to cheaper goods and unprecedented mobility. Energy was the backbone of innovation, shaping the world we live in.

Now, electricity is staging its own revolution. The shift isn’t as loud or smoky, but it’s just as important. Renewable sources like solar and wind have seen costs plummet over the last decade; Solar is down nearly 90% since 2010. Combined with breakthroughs in energy storage, this evolution is unlocking round-the-clock power that doesn’t depend on fossil fuels.

This shift is what’s making things like electric vehicles (EVs) and drones viable, not just toys for the rich. Batteries are getting denser and cheaper: lithium-ion costs have dropped by over 80% in 15 years, and newer chemistries like solid-state and sodium-ion promise even more gains. Suddenly, you can lift a drone with a 6K camera into the sky, or drive 400km on a single charge, all without a drop of gas.

But the energy story doesn’t end there. The reason we all carry mini supercomputers in our pockets (smartphones with AI, 4K video, and real-time GPS) is the ability to power and cool ever-shrinking chips. These chips sip electricity like never before, while cloud data centers operate more efficiently than ever.

The secret behind our most exciting modern luxuries? Clean, affordable, and increasingly accessible energy.
