Quote
I could imagine a smart garage where I would plug in
my car and the computer handles it. I could even
make money by cost shifting.... It solves energy
security, energy prices and job creation...and by the
way, climate change.

Barriers to Participation?

Quote
The electranet presumes that every citizen is a
producer and seller of electricity as well as a
consumer of electricity.

Electricity 2.0
• Architecture of Participation
• Bottom up and top down
• Hackable
• Massive routable network
• Multiple Sources
• New entrants
• Open "API's"
• Publish and Subscribe
• Read and Write
• Sustainable
Why is this important?
As global average temperature increase exceeds about 3.5
degrees C, model projections suggest significant extinctions
(40-70% of species assessed) around the globe.
2007 IPCC Climate Change Synthesis Report
http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/syr/ar4_syr_spm.pdf
Why is this critical?
If there’s no action before 2012, that’s too late. What we do in
the next two to three years will determine our future. This is
the defining moment.
Rajendra Pachauri
Chair IPCC
