| The Tennessee Valley Authority is the 
| nation's largest public power provider 
| serving approximately 9 million consumers 
| in seven southeastern states. The

| supporter of open-source projects, 
| including Hadoop, a tool designed for deep 
| analysis and transformation of very large 
| data sets.

Open source tries to save the world

,----[ Quote ]
| A new company, People Power, is launching 
| into the crowded home energy monitoring 
| business.
| 
| Home energy monitoring is the tip of the 
| spear in terms of cutting energy costs. 
| Give people an idea of how much their 
| appliances are costing, and when, then give 
| them the power to adjust their energy use, 
| and you not only save the planet, and save 
| people real money, but create a nice 
| business for yourself.
