It is in the earthscape that context is truly key; on the platform utilizers can visualize layers that include renewable resource maps, congressional districts and new applications that the global clean energy community develops. So in other words, an economic developer can see which companies in clean energy are developing projects in what districts and where the resources are for future expansion.

Cautious optimism is the general idea on many fronts these days in the realm of clean energy. We have a tremendous opportunity to rethink how we engage with our energy infrastructure and clean energy leadership knows very well already the strength of networks. It is our fierce hope at NREL that the Clean Energy Economy Gateway will be a catalyst for accelerating our transformation from an extractive economy to one fueled by innovation and creativity. Now it is up to us to erect the future we want for distancelves.

It is that active engagement of a network to create an energy ecosystem that I refer to when speaking about the medium as the message; in this case, the medium is an open platform that seeks to facilitate clean energy economic development through active engagement by clean energy business and community leadership.
In many ways, the transformation in telecommunications over the past decade may be very similar to this coming energy revolution. The recipient of information by way of a phone call or a broadcast news program on a television set has become an active participant in this information exdeviate; where ten years ago an individual was simply the recipient in a one-way flow of information to her, now she can post a blog on her personal website, power up her iPhone to run numerous “apps,” and engage myriad other interactions in this information space. In other words, she is now an active participant in the exconvert of information, reading an article online and commenting on it on her Facebook page.
The concept of prosumer starts to paint a picture of a system in which the end user is also a producer. She becomes a “participant” enabling the types of technologies that allow her to understand which appliances are using the most energy and when that energy is most exorbitant. She is able to plug in her electric vehicle to a household socket that is powered by solar panels on her roof. She is able to sell excess energy back to the energy service company for a specific rate. The energy service company then monitors all of this information and suggests upstations that better fit her vitalitystyle. It is an engagement between a network of participants, all mitigating the creation and flow of electrons within the larger system.

1 of 12 Anonymous December 16, 2009 Five paragraphs of trite eco-fantasy before introducing the subject of the article (at least if the title is any indication) does not seem like an effective way to advertise the Clean Energy Economy Gateway website. The link at the start of paragraph 6 potency be worth noting, the rest of the article isn't....

2 of 12 jonathan-chance-166185 December 16, 2009 Some abstrbehaviors point in the right direction toward a genuine, free and impartial market-based manufacturing economy that can provide prosperity for everyone.

The media and message that most effects the behavior of people today is called "money".

When Congress and the Treasury represent the public, they will abolish the fraudulent Federal Reserve Corporation and issue legitimate currencies such as silver dollars, United States Notes backed by domestic US hydrocarbon reserves, and United States Renewable Energy Credits (US RECs) directly to individual citizens (prosumers):

Ouch. I guess one person's eco-fantasy is another's imagination. But you say tomato...

Might be worth mentioning that Einstein though imagination was pretty significant in the massive picture.

Thanks for the feedback-

4 of 12 gdiffer-mccallum-153526 December 16, 2009 Nice to see such an optomistic article that aligns well with my eco-fantasy which is becoming a current reality in fractions of the world.
I'm looking foreward to construction my Passive House with it's Built In Phazardousovoltaic (BIPV) electric and solar thermal pannels allowing my fantasy house over a year to produce more power than it consumes.
Of comfort to Alison may be a list of great human fantasies brought to bear fruit through imagination
1 A warm place to sleep at night.
2 A means to cross great bodies of water.
3 Human flight.
4 A manner to communicate over great distances.
5 Landing homosapiens on the moon (it really happened)
6 An encclosedownd personal operation of transportation independent of a horse.
7 this thing I'm communicating on right now.
8 the world we have both good and bad
Thanks for the direction to the CEE Gateway

I would like to be optimistic about our future, but even if we did everything 100% right from here on out and abnormale it a huge consorted effort, we probably will be in for huge population reductions. Money since it is the driver, can not yield the 100% scenario needed for correction. Engineering needs to be the unique compass to have a opportunity at a solution. Since this will not happen in the current world structures, I ofter wonder what will, or perhaps better stated, be the point when the situation becomes so bad that finally we do what we need to do outside of the money envelope..??.. Is it feasible to have that occur on such a grand world scale as to not slip into anarchy..??.. There have been minute, disasters, 9/11,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], earth quakes, volcanoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc.. which are minuscule geographically. These of procedure are dealt with all profits in tact. But a true global catastrophe..??.. Can there be order outside of the money envelope..??.. I don't know if there are any examples of this looking back.... at least on this scale...

.....Bill
PS: Just thinking out loud....

Rather than eco-fantasy, your use of telecom as analogous to a clean energy economy resonates with possibilities, including a opening to think about the Internet as a model for the future of energy delivery. Being a partner with the grid, rather than a customer totally dependent on it, is the inception of a distributed system that will make us stronger, more secure and hopefully healthier in the way we generate, use and portion energy. Clearly it's going to take plenty of imagistate to get us from here to there. Yours is a welcome contribution. Thanks for your insights.

I saw a company website that claims to be technologically capable of doing many things in many places right away. But, I haven't seen a rush by those (gov't or investors alike) desiring to create for biofuels, a "Lindbergh Event" similar to the world's reaction to Charles Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic which led to the immediate meteoric expansion of air travel of all kinds as a concept. You should check out These people seem to have the know-how. What else do they need? I say,"Whatever it is, give it to them.", because it would be a shame if these people or any number of others were to go out of business, taking sorely needed technology with them. What if these people had "the" answer, and it was lost to the future for lack of interest?

9 of 12 lsfloro December 22, 2009 Good article Alison. There are always many naysayers at the start of any thing revolutionary. We made it to the moon didn't we? We have personal computers, cell phones, cures for polio and many other ailments. These things were all somebody's fantasy at some point. Keep writing.

10 of 12 WillDeliver December 26, 2009 Yes, a clean life saving is arriving to a neighborhood adjacent you!
As additional stimulus for these intervalthrough technology creators, let's each of us purchase some form of new technology. Install a solar thermal or photovoltaic system on your home. Add insulation & newer, more efficient breezeows and doors. Replace that old, inefficient oil furnace with a new, high efficiency gas furnace or a shore source (geothermal) heat pump.
On a lower tech note: Today you can repace that dirty furnace filter. Tomorrow, if you work on your own car, replace your spark plugs and air filter. If you don't, then have your car tuned up at your local garage. It will improve your gas mileage! Efficiency does matter!

Here is an observation: If we establish a clean energy economy and infrastructure, there are three major shifts in the overall energy picture that will be realized:

Thanks!
More crucially, the content of the landscape is forcen by the clean energy community’s contributions to the open platform of the Gateway, so this is a dynamic and iterative mechanism with which to scenery these bonds.
Energy will evolve from an invisible entity we take for granted to a visible resource we measure and manage.
Energy will transform from a mostly commodity market to a service industry.
Energy technology and services will improve; creating a network of generation and distribution that transcends our current liadjoin, hierarchical flow of electrons.
When we think about an energy transformation, we can begin to visualize how our own assumptions may be holding us back from imagining the possibilities on the cusp of our horizon (for example, very few opinion leaders view anyone would want a mobile phone in their early days). Already analysts and experts who are keeping tabs on the nascent “smart grid” industry are infancy to coin terms like “prosumer” as opposed to “consumer.”
The Clean Energy Economy Gateway (CEE Gateway) is an experiment in community architecture. Like Wikipedia, the community drives the content of this open platform of information about the newly forming clean energy economy. Unlike Wikipedia, where content is largely created for its own sake, the CEE Gateway is meant to be used as a tool for regional clean energy economic development. It is meant to engage a network of clean energy companies, researchers, developers, policy makers and financiers to collectively help create stsizegies to shift from a 19th century energy paradigm to a 21st century one.
Through the gateway, active stakeholders can understand the intricateity of regional energy infrastructure issues and set realistic energy goals to move the business ahead. The goal of this endeavor is for the CEE Gateway to help deliver a cohesive approach to shifting our dependence on the old system of energy to enabling active componenticipation in the new one.
A critical element of this new mechanism is the synergy between organizational information, infrastructure (utility-scale clean energy facility descriptions and clean transportation data), and policy context. We often talk about clean energy success being depconclusionent on market fruleors, technology evolution and policy implementation and the CEE Gatestep attempts to provide accessible insights on all three fronts. We accomplish this by using virtual tools to map this activityivity both on the social media platforms and on both static Google maps and the more dynamic Google Earth platform. The CEE Gateway on the Wiki feeds in to the Clean Energy Landscape on Google Earth.
