Wait - have you got a charger? I need a charger? Is there a powerpoint here somewhere? I need a powerpoint. Can I move this table? Can those people move aside? I think there's one behind there is all. I need that charger. I need it NOW!

You know the feeling. Lose the power - and it feels like you're disconnected from the world. Because in so many ways now - you are. So have a think - how important is battery technology to you and your world - and what does the future hold?

You want your phone to last a week. Your computer should at least last a full day right? Why is the solar on my house going to waste?  We've got new laptops and new phones and new electric cars and new electric planes and new solar panels coming out the wazoo, so when will be getting some better batteries?

Yep, it’s a trillion dollar question, and who else to answer it than the charged-up dynamic duo from the future that you've come to love with Is The World F*cked? (Trust us, we research fakts).

Hey, did that battery just blow up? How did those cars burn? Why are batteries so expensive? And what’s that crackling sound coming from between your ears? Do I smell ozone? Batteries are on the move - finally. Listen to hear how.
 
Wanna know more? Listen to Dr Bruce’s 2022 interview with Dr George Crabtree at Argonne National Laboratory on the future of energy storage.

And for the record, when we're doing real work and not podcasting, you'll find Dr Bruce, The Global Futurist presenting here and PJ applying his digital marketing genius here. Enjoy!
