El futuro energético de acuerdo a Elon Musk




Surafricano, 46 años, y ha decidido hacer historia. Una de las frases más contundentes de esta conferencia: "Quiero pensar en el futuro y no estar triste"

Conocido por ser el cofundador entre otras empresas de de PayPal, Tesla Motors, SpaceX, Hyperloop, SolarCity, The Boring Company y OpenAI.

Hoy en día es el director general de SpaceX, director general de Tesla Motors, presidente de SolarCity y copresidente de OpenAI. 

Al día de hoy su fortuna se estima en 17.400 millones de dólares, lo que le convierte en la persona número 57 más rica del mundo. En diciembre de 2016, Musk fue nombrado como la persona 21 más poderosa del mundo por la revista Forbes.

Musk afirma muy optimista y con razón que los propósitos de SolarCity, Tesla y SpaceX giran alrededor de su visión de cambiar el mundo y la humanidad de forma drástica y lo mejor de todo es que lo está logrando. Se ha concentrado en atacar el corazón del mercado de los hidrocarburos facilitando la instalación de energía sostenible en el segmento automoción y consumo eléctrico a pequeña y gran escala, asoma como si fuera un niño la posibilidad de resolver el atasco de las grandes ciudades con desarrollos subterráneos de primera línea y ya está excavando, piensa en una civilización interplanetaria para lo cual implemanta sus proyectos de desarrollo de cohetería aclarando que no hay un avance lineal ascendente en la tecnología y siempre se puede retroceder y ahora explora con la inteligencia artificial. Sin duda una de esas personas que ha venido no solo para hacer dinero, sino para cambiar el mundo.

No queremos alargar mucho. Los dejamos con esta conferencia TED realizada hace pocos, casi profética y este trabajo de Bloomberg sobre el estado de su agenda.

Aún queda por observar los cambios de su potencial impronta pero lo que queda claro es que ganas tiene. Les invitamos a disfrutar de esta conferencia.

The unimportance of Venezuelan oil

Image
  Venezuela's century-old oil industry is living its worst hours not because of sanctions but because of Chavismo's incompetence. Hugo Chávez came to power with the monetary and political support of Arab kingdoms that saw a defiant Venezuela growing its oil production before 1998. Had Hugo Chávez not come to power, Venezuela would be close to 8 million barrels per day right now. 25 years later, they are celebrating if they reach 900,000 barrels per day, after receiving a production capacity of 3.5 million barrels per day in 1999. The Saudis and other kingdoms wanted Venezuela to stay part of OPEC. They wanted to keep the same levels of production and helped Chávez come to power. But then he betrayed them by working with the Persians, although he was still employed with the task at hand. Chávez did the dirty work of not only keeping production levels the same but destroying them, which benefited his Arab, Russian, North American, Latin American, African etc. oil competitors....

Latin America: conflict and energy

Image
  Latin America is affected by remote conflicts. The region also has its own conflicts, but they are not as affected by this as conflicts in regions that sell or consume raw materials. These are the Middle East and Asia. Verisk Maplecroft says that conflict-affected areas have grown by 65% since 2021. They now cover 4.6% of the world's land, up from 2.8% three years ago. That's almost twice the size of India. The upsurge in conflict is having a significant impact on people, migration, geopolitics, the economy and international trade. More people are dying in violence. By the end of the year, there will be more than 200,000 deaths from conflict, which is 29% more than in 2021. The Middle East and Ukraine are the most intense war zones. Both could get worse. Twenty-seven countries, including Ecuador, Colombia, India, Indonesia and Thailand, have seen a big rise in risk since 2021. But sub-Saharan Africa has seen more conflict than any other region. The Indo-Pacific region is ...

Argentina and the evolution of South America's gas geopolitics

Image
  According to Bolivia's state-owned oil company YPFB, Bolivia's natural gas exports to Argentina have ceased following almost two decades of trade. This is due to a decline in production in Bolivia and Argentina's increasing status as a fuel exporter. This marks the end of the Kirchnerist and Evista (Evo Morales) era, as well as the true nature of the evolution of Bolivian fields and disinvestment in exploration and development in the Andean country. It is important to recall that during the Kirchners' initial period of statist rule, significant damage was done to Argentina's gas capabilities in the areas of exploration, development and transportation. Following the expropriation of foreign private companies exploring and establishing production capacities, Bolivia was able to capitalise on the results of their work in the gas industry. The Bolivians failed to capitalise on the opportunities presented to them and are now facing challenges. The Argentine turnaroun...
