Although this is essentially a "Cisco infomercial," what is being discussed here is highly relevant to this site. It highlights the new directions in which society will have to go in the 21st century--vis-a-vis an upgraded, high-performance energy delivery system. This is a radically different paradigm for energy storage, monitoring, and distribution, compared to what we do at present.
I assert that it could also usher in some new and different social paradigms and alternate forms of social interaction, as well. Hence, the reason for my posting this Cisco piece here. As energy flows, so society goes. Or, in the words of the great Senegalese historian, Cheikh Anta Diop, "In the beginning is energy, all else flows therefrom." Have a look at this 5 minute presentation, and then consider the possibilities.
