Everyone agrees that consumers need to be educated about the entirely new types of energy use data that can be created with Smart Grid technologies.
Critics of the sectoral approach point out that however efficient industries might be, it does not help the climate if inventors keep dreaming up new ways to use energy - like Japan's electrically heated, stereophonic, bottom-washing toilets.
This includes everything from tapping our offshore oil supplies and vast natural gas reserves, to doubling down on clean energy resources like wind and solar power, to developing new technologies that help us use less energy altogether.

We've got to develop new technology that helps us use less energy, and use energy smarter.
We have to keep developing new technology that helps us use less energy.
Rather than create electricity by heating water and turning a turbine, Wilson's new reactor would use nuclear fission to produce energy from molten salt.
Similarly, Moscow has worked to put in place new approaches to expand the use of nuclear energy in a manner that meets energy and environmental goals and reduces the risk of proliferation.

Adapting the electricity grid, for example, to use more alternative energy may require new transmission lines for which approval can take years.
Although more than half the states have passed mandates to increase renewable energy use (which often results in new wind farms and local "clean" generation), utilities still need to get that power to consumers.
This would help consumers save on their energy use, reduce the number of new power plants that need to be built, and provide more accurate information to grid operators about how to allocate electricity use.
He has opened more public land and water for safe and responsible energy production, not just gas and oil but also wind and solar, creating thousands of new jobs and nearly doubling our use of renewable energy in this country.

"If you think about it, the use of energy in a city like New York can affect where the food is for these parents that have to try to feed their young in a warming world, " he says.
The inclusion of food production also points to a broadening of the definition of green tech, which in the past referred more narrowly to technologies such as those for renewable electricity and biofuel production, electric car development and new materials and services that help consumers and businesses use energy more efficiently.

Because these new storage systems have no moving parts, they use less energy and can be accessed much more quickly than moving disk drives.
Second, this trend coincides with new potential for improved energy efficiency in buildings, which substitutes better use of information for the wasteful use of energy and dramatically reduces the need for electricity production.
At root, the new bill respects, and so preserves, current American attitudes toward energy use.
It also would put our country on a new track towards more domestic production of energy, towards more renewable energy use, and towards creating jobs of the future.
While similar products have been out for some time, only the latest generation, which uses a new, more energy-efficient version of Bluetooth, is practical for everyday use.
