Future Energy Dashboard

Drag the dials: see what 2050's energy mix actually has to look like to keep the lights on.

The energy transition is not one number — it's the simultaneous solution of several: solar TW deployed, battery storage hours, nuclear restart pace, fusion arrival year, demand growth from AI compute and electrification. Future Energy Dashboard lets you turn each dial, and tells you immediately whether the resulting mix actually serves the load — or browns out.

Not a model of what will happen. A model of what would have to happen.
