"A global energy network makes enormous sense if we are to meet global energy needs with a minimal impact on the world's environment. Such advances (in long distance transmission) may even make possible the visionary suggestion ... that the Eastern and Western hemispheres be linked by underwater cable to assist each other in managing peak energy demand, since the high daytime use in one hemisphere occurs at precisely the low night time consumption by the other." 
-- Nobel Laureate, Vice President Al Gore

    "The electrical system now supporting life on planet Earth is analogous to the state of computer technology in about 1980... powered mostly by mainframes, PC'sjust coming on the horizon and only the early foundations of a network in place.
    The next World Wide Web will be a Global Energy Grid
    -- and it will transform everything."
