Energy Sustainability in the Caribbean. Thursday, September 30, 2010. IMAGINATION: THE RAW MATERIAL OF PROGRESS. Guest post from Welectricity. The GE Ecomagination contest comes to an end today and I'd like to make a few comments about it. It's been an incredible ride and I sincerely commend GE for their own innovation - not in launching the contest, but in making it a. Contest. That was a master stroke. It was just two tables, some chairs, several notebook computers manned by friends, and a billboard...

Energy Sustainability in the Caribbean. Saturday, May 15, 2010. Guest post from Welectricity. I found Chris Baskind's blog. Tonight, which has inspired me to post this. I'd already been following Chris on Twitter, but have only just gotten around to checking his other writing out. He lives in Florida and he's been writing some powerful stuff on the unfolding BP oil disaster that threatens him and us all. In fact, our mission statement is pretty close! To motivate the world to live better by consuming less.

Energy Sustainability in the Caribbean. Saturday, June 5, 2010. RADICAL ACTIONS FOR RADICAL TIMES. Guest post by Welectricity. Getting people to change their behavior is hard, but it can be done. The first thing required is recognition that there’s a problem. In this case, the problem is our addiction to the consumption of more and more stuff as an end in itself, which directly fuels our ongoing dependence on fossil fuels, which in turn is slowly destroying our planet.

On Green Island: THE FUTURE CONSUMER-FACING SMART GRID: A METER, A WEB APP AND A MOBILE PHONE
http://greenislandinc.blogspot.com/2010/10/future-consumer-facing-smart-grid-meter.html
Energy Sustainability in the Caribbean. Thursday, October 21, 2010. THE FUTURE CONSUMER-FACING SMART GRID: A METER, A WEB APP AND A MOBILE PHONE. What will the consumer-facing smart grid look like? A post by Katie Fehrenbacher on GigaOm this week. I agree with her assessment. I’d like to go a little further, and suggest that the future configuration of the consumer-facing smart grid will be a combination of three things: a smart meter, a web app and a smart phone. What about the smart sensors and control...

http://greenislandinc.blogspot.com/2010/06/whats-it-costing-now-bp.html
Energy Sustainability in the Caribbean. Saturday, June 5, 2010. WHAT'S IT COSTING NOW, BP? On April 20th 2010 an explosion shook the Deepwater Horizon, a semi-submersible offshore oil rig working 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. The rig caught fire, eleven workers died in the mishap and the rig, owned and operated by Transocean Ltd on behalf of British oil giant BP, sank two days later – on Earth Day. NASA image of the Gulf on May 24, 2010. From http:/ www.nasa.gov. Arguably, th...

On Green Island: A BRIEF (END-OF-DECADE) ENERGY ROUNDUP
http://greenislandinc.blogspot.com/2010/12/brief-end-of-decade-energy-roundup.html
Energy Sustainability in the Caribbean. Monday, December 6, 2010. A BRIEF (END-OF-DECADE) ENERGY ROUNDUP. What century are we in, again? Here’s an amazing fact: over the past 10 years, the retail price of electricity across the OECS has roughly doubled. And over the same period, most of the energy-sector leaders of the affected countries have done exactly nothing about the fundamental problem. What is the fundamental problem? Think of a serious medical case, accompanied by intense pain. The attending...
