Open Source Startup Developing Device to Link Home Appliances Over LAN
,----[ Quote ]
| People Power, a new open source-based
| green tech startup launches today with the
| goal of helping people reduce their carbon
| footprint and control energy consumption
| in their homes. More than just a cost-
| analysis Web site that lets you compare
| and contrast the cost of using various
| appliances, People Power is also
| developing devices that communicate
| wirelessly to connect a home's appliances
| with a specially designed local network,
| so users can track energy use in real-
| time.

People Power Revs Up Wireless Energy Management With Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Wang said the startupâs open-source
| platform will be more reliable and
| compatible with other systems and devices,
| and it will be cheaper for third-party
| vendors to build applications than the
| communications platforms based on open
| standards currently being used by other
| players in the home energy management
| space. Those standards, such as wireless
| ZigBee, were designed for shorter ranges
| of 30-40 feet while OSHAN was designed for
| longer distances typical in a home, such
| as between the electric meter and the back
| of a house, Wang said.

A changing climate around nuclear energy
,----[ Quote ]
| A new, bipartisan consensus is building
| around the environmental benefits of
| nuclear energy in America.
|
| Just a few weeks ago, in a meadow in Rocky
| Mountain National Park, Democratic Sen.
| Mark Udall of Colorado joined Republican
| Sen. John McCain of Arizona in concluding
| that nuclear energy "has to be part of the
| solution" as the country seeks to reduce
| its carbon footprint and help reduce
| greenhouse gas emissions.
|
| The debate about nuclear energy in Oregon,
| and across much of America, has been a
| highly emotional, often partisan affair.
| This new alliance is a breath of fresh
| air, representing a fundamental shift in
| political alignment. Fifty-nine percent of
| Americans polled by Gallup earlier this
| year said they support nuclear energy as
| one way to meet the nation's electricity
| needs.
