The Future Enernet: A Conversation with Bob Metcalfe - SXSW 2011 Interactive
Loading...
Uploaded by sxsw on Mar 16, 2011
Are there lessons we can learn from the growth the Internet and the transformation of telecom over the past 30 years that we can apply to energy? If so, what role can the digital creative class play in transforming our society's relationship to energy? In this discussion with the inventor of Ethernet, founder of 3Com, and for whom Metcalfe's Law was named, we'll have a conversation about how energy innovators can compete against the status quo. We'll pop the myths of how change happens in an industry (or not) and we'll discuss analogies from the Internet that may be applicable to energy. We'll discuss the forces working for and against new energy futures. We'll define the criteria needed to create an energy future that solves many of the problems associated with our current creation and use of energy. We'll discuss potential strategies to reach those solutions. We'll touch on the energy technologies that look promising; what we need to do to foster the research that brings about new technologies; and we'll discuss how energy entrepreneurs can facilitate adoption of their technologies to bring about change. The future doesn't necessarily have to look like the present. Learn why from someone who has already transformed networking and is looking to do so in energy. Gain a better understanding of how you can participate in a new energy future in your personal, professional, or political life.

I mean to say *service providers, the same way Comcast does today.

Actually, he brings up some really great points. My roommate who is currently working on his PhD in EE (focusing around renewable energy technology) has actually said something extremely similar before regarding creating a medium for transfer, the technology is not quite there but it is SO close. What sucks is this: the utilities, they are so embedded in our government, so they will fight it 'til the death but we need cheap, abundant networks of energy. Utilities will act as providers one day.

... this is laughable.
