Cut on burning your dinosaurs, dude: Opower + Machine Learning VS global warming Most of the current humanity energy demand is satisfied with energy generated by burning our old dinosaurs. Only 1/10ths of the chemical energy contained in the fossils ends up being utilized as planned, the rest ends up warming and polluting our atmosphere. Reducing energy use by 1 killowat saves another 9 which would have been wasted (and no greenhouse gas emissions, Carl!). That's what we do in Opower: we use Machine Learning to discover patterns in large amounts of data. Data insights plus some behavioral science resulted in $1 billion of energy bill savings to date. Come and learn more! In our talk: * A bar and a school enter a bar... * What are the similarities between a bar and a school? * How do you make Greenpeace to love your bar? * How do we find answers to such questions? * Why should you believe us?
