  New initiative to work with Obama admin.

  Just spotted online that a new initiative called The Digital Energy Solutions Campaign launched today at the Smart2020 Conference.  The group is made up IT firms and Environmental organizations who "will work with the incoming Obama Administration and Congressional leaders to educate and promote how ICT strategies can make our economy robust while at the same time becoming increasingly energy efficient and environmentally friendly."  Members include Dell, EMC, HP, Intel, the Technology CEO Council, Verizon, the Alliance to Save Energy, The Climate Group, and the World Wildlife Fund.  They've also "outlined a policy framework to make private industries and government more energy efficient, create behavior changes to make us more energy efficient and reduce ICT's energy needs."  More info at http://www.behindthegreen.org/blog/?storyId=23913On President-elect sends YouTube message to governors posted 1 year ago 5 Responses

  More than just new sources of energy needed

  The development of new and sustainable forms of energy will certainly help reduce our dependency on foreign oil and create a new job sector that will employ Americans.  But, we also need to look at how we can make the products and services we use everyday more energy efficient - regardless of how, eventually, the energy they use is produced.  behindthegreen.org is a site sponsored by many top tech companies that is seeking to create a dialogue between the government and private sectors on that very topic.On Will Obama create a new energy council, as recommended by the Center for American Progress? posted 1 year ago 2 Responses
