         help collaboratively draft a 100 year public energy policy
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
 

	goal:		develop a strategic energy plan which
			establishes a democratic, 2/3rds energy-
			efficient Electrical Infrastructure by
			2100 common era.


	benefits:	- reverse pollution
			- limit power outages
			- increase security


	method:		public and private investment in
			multidisciplinary research & development
			to strategically redesign electrical power,
			media, and technology infrastructures to
			serve both our economic and social values.

  !!! two very different policy options: industrial or democratic power !!!

	# 2 the Democratic Power System Serving People (tomorrow)...

		http://www.electronetwork.org/works/pen/new_power/



	the choice?	benefit short-term private economic interests
			or adapt power to serve long-term public and
			private interests.

			 one proposal to consider... 
  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -


			redirecting monies subsidizing
			the 2/3rds energy wasted in the
  			current industrial system for
			redesigning a new infrastructure
			with public and private funds.
