Vint Cerf, father of the Internet talks about electrical energy efficiency
Vint Cerf is Vice President of Google and often called the Father of the Internet.
In this video filmed at lift09 conference, he talks to me of the efficiency of electricity generation and its distribution. Transmission over long distances has to be supported by local sources and renewable energies.
The future will show new options to create reservoirs of energies, intelligent systems and power grids. Then demand can be moderated using sensors. Finally, it's with the leverage of education that we will be able to make a difference.
