Jeff Goodell on The Future of Electricity

Jeff Goodell, environmental author ('Big Coal', 'How to Cool the Planet') and contributing editor at Rolling Stone, shares his views on the future of electricity.
According to Jeff, in order to meet our growing energy needs we're going to need to stop thinking about generating 'clean' power vs. 'dirty', but instead start thinking in terms of how to develop 'smart' power vs. 'dumb'.
Goodell goes on to speculate that the current shift in how we think about the way we make and use electricity represents more than a technological transition—it's a cultural transition as well.

Luckily I got a change to read his amazing book called “How to Cool the Planet” while travelling for some business meeting. Now again this amazing video on the same subject. Through his book, he had focused so many things we want to know to keep our planet cool and also our air conditioning irving energy. Nothing much about the present situation, but he was thinking very far for our environment. I don’t think such emergency would come or affect us ever.
Nice topic .I liked it a lot.Electricity is our http://www.zoloftdosage.info resource which has to be taken of great care.I liked reading it.
Technology is making human life easy and comfortable, but on the other hand massive use of appliances like washers, dryers, refrigerators, air-conditioners cause global warming as well as consume loads of energy supply.
it figures
And I thought I was the sensible one. Thanks for setting me straight.
