  • The last closing contribution from the panel is really true. The mindset must change about comfort, about climate change, and the need to startup new energy saving initiatives and industry.

  • why discuss making and piping hydrogen, let alone burning hydrogen to make electricity, instead of transmitting and using electricity directly? as for using solar-generated electricity as a means to liquefy and burn coal ... you are missing the point: 80% reduction in carbon emissions, not in your kid's lifetime, but in what is left of your own.

  • Detecting presence by passive infrared through censor network sounds like quite a basic way to conserve energy. You leave the house and everything turns off : )

    Making toast in a microwave haha.

  • 2 fucking hours?!?!?!

  • Yes it can. But first we need the global collaboration using the global cloud.

  • I think the power grid has to become individualized. Allow any man to possibly setup a power generation central and sell the power. Not like now when the government controls everything with an ironfirst and central planning communist Russia style.
