Changing the Face of Energy and Transportation in the 21st Century

I have been taking a break from writing books, largely because I was out of ideas—until just a minute ago when I had what I think is a good concept: how the tech giants (e.g., Google) and the American billionaires (e.g., Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, et. al.) will change the face of energy and transportation in the 21st Century.  I believe that these two enormous industries will be totally turned on their heads, and, most interestingly, by people from the outside.

To take an example, Google appears to be all over the autonomous car, but it strikes me as unlikely that this is all they have their eyes on in fomenting a revolution in the transportation sector.

Of course, this overall hypothesis is not exactly “new news,” given the splash that Musk has already made – but I still think this is “book-worthy.”

I hope to get interviews that will provide me with some “inside scoop,” though obviously a great deal of the most important things that are in the works here are extremely closely guarded secrets.  Still, I bet I can get at some key truths here.

What do you think?
