In March 2014, Minnesota became the first state to adopt a “value of solar” policy. It may fundamentally change the financial relationship between electric utilities and their energy-producing customers. It may also serve as a precedent for setting a transparent, market-based price for solar energy. This presentation explains the origins of value of solar, the compromises made to get the policy adopted in Minnesota, and the potential impact on utilities and solar energy producers.

Slides for my talk at the TED x event at NUS March 2016. I talked about how technology is going to affect our lives and our jobs. How our jobs have redefined what means to be human and how we need to go back and find the real meaning of being human, though invention, art, design, entertainment, etc. Doing this while we restructure our society and solve our most pressing problems
Where should marketers and brands place bets over the next five years? What is hype over substance? Taking all of this into consideration, I interviewed my strategy teams in Los Angeles, New York, and Dallas to map the state of digital marketing in the year 2020.
We had fun with discussions of drones, crypto currency, the internet of people, and more. While the team agreed fundamentally about certain platforms making an impact, there were pros and cons to impact and feasibility. The following presentation is the consolidated and highly visual vision of the future of advertisting in the year 2020.
We will take a look back at transformational media moments that give clues to the future state of advertising. We will then look at the role of integrated mobile, converged media, connected life and the digital ecosystem of the future.

New Business Opportunities for Utility Distribution Companies in an Expanded ...accenture
The current traditional business model for distribution utilities must change. While several models are available, the distribution platform optimizer is the business model that Accenture believes will come to dominate over time. Find out why and what opportunities there are for the future of utility distribution.
Energy generated by using wind, tides, solar, geothermal heat, and biomass including farm and animal waste is known as non-conventional energy. All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible and do not cause environmental pollution. More over they do not require heavy expenditure.
Natural resources that can be replaced and reused by nature are termed renewable. Natural resources that cannot be replaced are termed nonrenewable.
Renewable resources are replaced through natural processes at a rate that is equal to or greater than the rate at which they are used, and depletion is usually not a worry.
Nonrenewable resources are exhaustible and are extracted faster than the rate at which they formed. E.g. Fossil Fuels (coal, oil, natural gas).
A Vision for Minnesota Solar: Lessons and Barriers from the North Star StateJohn Farrell
Minnesota policy makers have set the table for solar to grow in this northern state, but are incumbent utilities willing to aid their customers' pursuit of solar? This presentation looks at the successes so far and who is best positioned to lead the growth of solar at a time of rapid technological change.
Webinar Presentation: Minnesota's Value of SolarJohn Farrell
In March 2014, Minnesota became the first state to adopt a “value of solar” policy. It may fundamentally change the financial relationship between electric utilities and their energy-producing customers. It may also serve as a precedent for setting a transparent, market-based price for solar energy. This presentation explains the origins of value of solar, the compromises made to get the policy adopted in Minnesota, and the potential impact on utilities and solar energy producers.
For the past 150 years, how humans generate food, water, and energy has involved wasting one to produce the other, and treating each as a negative externality or commodity with no marginal cost to make the economics work. Oil and gas is produced via fracking, but profitability depends on providing millions of gallons of water per well at no cost. Natural gas is used to produce NH3 (ammonia), which underpins the green revolution, but that same natural gas also leaks from wells far more than has been acknowledged and exacerbates global warming, causes droughts and killing crops in heat waves. Ethanol is produced from corn, but only by pretending that the loss of top soil is not an issue nor a wasting asset to be depreciated. The Network Society will bring with it not only quadruple revolutions in food, water, energy, and ecosystems, but also, more simply, more true and accurate accounting for all the natural resources, including species diversity.

Which Costs Less? A Surprising Comparison of Utility-Scale, Community, and Ro...John Farrell
Electric utilities often misrepresent the cost of solar energy to serve their own profit interests. The truth? Costs are comparable for utility-scale, rooftop, and community solar––and local solar offers benefits aside from clean electricity, from reducing energy burdens for electric customers to providing resilience in the face of natural disaster. State legislatures should create policies to capture the benefits of all sizes and ownership methods of building more solar energy, but should especially work to undo years of utility misdirection by promoting local solar.

Reverse Power Flow: How solar+batteries shift electric grid decision making f...John Farrell
For 100 years, most decisions about the U.S. electric grid have been made at the top by electric utilities, public regulators, and grid operators. That era has ended.
Small-scale solar has provided one-fifth of new power plant capacity in each of the last four quarters, and over 10 percent in the past five years. One in 5 new California customers of the nation’s largest residential solar company are adding energy storage to their solar arrays. Economic defection––when electricity customers produce most of their own electricity––is not only possible, but rapidly becoming cost-effective. As the flow of power on the grid has shifted one-way to two-way, so has the power to shape the electric grid’s future.
In 4 weeks, citizens of Decorah, Iowa, will vote whether to take over the electric company for more local control. In this talk from March 26, John Farrell explains the advantages and opportunities of local power.

A twist on John Farrell's previous microgrid presentation adds in the potential for biogas to play a role in microgrid development. Can cow poop and food waste power microgrids?
Re-Member-ing Rural Electric Cooperatives Report PresentationJohn Farrell
Electric cooperatives have been the backbone of the nation’s rural electrical system for more than 80 years. Their mission and business model now face more challenges than ever, from financial to contractual to basic member control. But the opportunity is equally great, with a chance for member-driven investment to power hundreds of local economies across the rural United States.
Mighty Microgrids: How Small Grids Could Become a Big DealJohn Farrell
The electric grid is no longer a 20th-century, one-way system. A constellation of distributed energy technologies is opening the way to the "microgrid," one of many new local solutions to generating and managing energy. The question is whether microgrids will face macro challenges. Will state laws granting utility monopolies interfere? Will microgrids be able to sell their grid-strengthening services?
Beyond Sharing: Communities Taking Ownership of Renewable PowerJohn Farrell
The electric utility monopoly is breaking up, but will renewable energy become another form of wealth extraction or will community renewable energy enable communities to capture their renewable power?

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
