Robert F. Kennedy Jr."The electricity system in the nation should be linked together, so that solar and wind energy can be used in every community. We need a national marketplace where every American is hooked to a national unified grid... a marketplace that does what real free market capitalism is supposed to do: reward good behavior, which is efficiency.  And punish bad behavior, which is inefficiency and waste.”

    Earlier News Stories

    There is a new world wide web emerging right before our eyes.

    It is a global energy network and, like the internet, it will change our culture, society and how we do business.  More importantly, it will alter how we use, transform and exchange energy.

    Enough solar energy falls on the surface of the earth every 40 minutes to meet 100 percent of the entire world's energy needs for a full year.

    There is no energy supply problem, there is an energy distribution problem -- and the emerging solution is a new world wide web of electricity.
