<aside> 👉 Foundations & Plans of action for those looking to engineer a 10x future.
Open Source Handbook by Kevin Kong

This handbook covers the technical and economic issues that must be overcome to engineer energy abundance, possible pathways, and tips on how each person can contribute to reaching these goals.
How is this different than other handbooks for “Paths to Net Zero”? The pathways a society must take to “green” the existing infrastructure are aligned with, but not the same as, the pathways that must be taken to 10x the whole system using clean, abundant, scalable solutions.
This was derived from interviews with industry experts and research of authoritative sources gathered over the author’s ten years of work in this space as a practitioner and investor.
Whether you are a professional, a student, or simply someone who cares about the future of our planet, this handbook will provide you with the knowledge and tools to be part of the solution.
Engineering energy abundance is one of the most exciting and worthwhile goals for humanity, especially given the challenges we face today such as energy security, climate change, and resource competition. Energy is an input in all the comforts and efficiencies of modern life, from steel in our homes and cars, affordable international flights, to the price of your morning coffee. Abundance of everything we build & consume can create a more sustainable and prosperous future for all, while reducing our dependence on finite resources and minimizing the negative impact of energy production on the environment.
This will not happen by accident or easily. This will require many breakthroughs in engineering & materials science, production methods & global supply chains, and policy and incentives. This will cost trillions of dollars, in aggregate.
This handbook is a roadmap for how we can achieve this goal and the roles we can all play in making it a reality.
