On reading my FiRe summary report, my colleague at SignalLake – Bart Stuck pointed me to two blog entries worth reading

http://www.theoildrum.com/story/2006/7/24/202222/351 and

this one about Bart’s classmate – Bob Metcalfe’s presentation at Telecosm 2008 – http://the.inevitable.org/anism/tag/bob-metcalfe

I should also mention that there was quite a bit of discussion on Solar Energy at the FiRe conference and some believed that Solar will be the dominant source within 20-30 years. I need to educate myself more to opine on the issue.
