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 !!!

# 1 People serving the Industrial Power System (today)...
http://www.electronetwork.org/works/pen/old_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.
