Peak Oil Solutions?

Solutions?


You want solutions?

Solutions to the Dragon of Peak Oil?

Ok.

How about this one.

Google.org is working on a system to give electricity consumers the ability to closely monitor their consumption. Click here to check it out.

This is not only a good start to saving energy by taking the first steps towards a "smart" power grid, it also raises some very serious sovereignty questions about who owns their power consumption information. The consumer, or the power company? 

Kinda reminds you about the squabble over who owns their medical records huh? See, those things really do matter, don't they? Maybe people will start to get a clue that our medical records, our electricity consumptions records and especially our CELL PHONE RECORDS belong to us. Not the government, and not the corporations.
