Eileen Claussen: Addressing Climate Change in the Absence of Policy

Eileen Claussen Center For Climate And Energy Solutions
November 10, 2014
For the past two decades, governments, companies and non-­governmental organizations concerned about climate change have looked to comprehensive global and national policy solutions.
 

While this approach makes sense — given that climate change is a global issue and market­-based national or international solutions would be far less expensive solutions than command and control approaches — an ambitious, binding international treaty has yet to materialize. And here in the U.S., climate change legislation doesn’t look likely for the foreseeable future.

Amit Narayan: How Data Will Power the Future of Energy

Dr Amit Narayan Autogrid Inc
October 16, 2014
Throughout history, we’ve equated energy with the consumption of natural resources such as oil, natural gas or coal.
 

In the coming decades we will start to think of data and software as a source of energy.

What do I mean by that? Software won’t generate electrons, but it will let us leverage the electricity we are already generating in a more efficient and productive way.

Ganesh Bell: How to Get the Most Out of Your Industrial Assets

Ganesh Bell GE
October 08, 2014
Every industry today is being transformed by the power of software and data, and expectations are high that Big Data will boost profits and give you a competitive advantage.
 

Whatever your industry, you may have invested in Big Data in the hopes it will increase your efficiency and save you money. Perhaps you have a vision of a self-optimizing plant that gets smarter over time, gives you end-to-end visibility and saves you millions. But the results haven’t materialized, and you’re still looking for a way to turn that data into dollars.

Sun-Powered Desalination for Villages in India

Mit News
October 03, 2014

Off-grid Indian communities with salty groundwater could get potable water through a proposed solar technique.

Around the world, there is more salty groundwater than fresh, drinkable groundwater. For example, 60 percent of India is underlain by salty water — and much of that area is not served by an electric grid that could run conventional reverse-osmosis desalination plants.
