Smaller Faster Lighter Denser Cheaper: How Innovation Keeps Proving the Catastrophists Wrong
In the face of today’s environmental and economic challenges, doomsayers preach that the only way to stave off disaster is for humans to reverse course: to de-industrialize, re-localize, ban the use of modern energy sources and forswear prosperity. In this provocative and optimistic speech based on his new book – which rebukes the catastrophists – Robert Bryce shows audiences how innovation and the inexorable human desire to make things Smaller Faster Lighter Denser Cheaper is providing consumers with Cheaper and more abundant energy, Faster computing, Lighter vehicles and myriad other goods. Ultimately, he explains how that same desire is fostering unprecedented prosperity, greater liberty and better environmental protection across multiple sectors.
Another American Century: Why the US Will Continue Dominating The Global Economy
For all of the talk about the decline of the US and the rise of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) the facts show that America’s dominance of the world is far from over. In this talk, Bryce shows how America’s advantages in energy, education, and infrastructure -- and perhaps most important, innovation and entrepreneurship -- will make the 21st century into yet another American century.
The innovation drivers: How the push for Smaller Faster Lighter Denser Cheaper is leading to a richer, freer, greener world. For decades, we’ve been told that things are getting worse
Whether the issue is climate change or peak oil, the pessimists have claimed that we humans are heading the wrong direction. In this provocative presentation, Bryce shows how ongoing innovation in everything from farming to energy production gives us reason to be optimistic. The inexorable push to make things Smaller Faster Lighter Denser Cheaper – a push that has been ongoing for centuries – is leading millions of people out of the darkness and desolation of poverty and into the electric-lit world of modernity. He proves why innovation and optimism, not pessimism, is the way of the future.
The Myths of “Green” Energy and the Real Fuels of the Future
Politicians and pundits love to talk about “green” and “clean” energy. But the hype doesn’t match the reality. Nine out of 10 units of energy we consume come from hydrocarbons. In this talk, Bryce explains why hydrocarbons will continue to dominate our energy mix for decades to come and why the fuels of the future are natural gas and nuclear.
