Electricity 2.0: Using Lessons From the Web to Improve Energy Networks
•
7 likes•2,384 views
The document discusses how electricity networks can learn from lessons of the internet and web to become more flexible, distributed, and open. It outlines how traditional electricity systems are centralized, top-down, and closed, similar to early telecom networks, whereas new technologies enable more two-way communication between energy producers and consumers. This could allow for greater integration of renewable energy and demand response through smart grid technologies.

- 62. 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 62
- 63. 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 63
