www.tagtvonline.com features the entire video program. Watch the final Q&A where, at a recent TAG Smart Grid meeting entitled “Jobs and Economic Growth Opportunities in Georgia,” a panel of experts discussed the impact of Smart Grid technologies, the effect on green jobs and aspects of economic growth in the state, with a focus on economic stimulus opportunities associated with the strategies and experiences of organizations in the Smart Grid ecosystem. The featured speaker, Dr. Deepak Divan, Director-Intelligent Power Infrastructure Consortium and Professor School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology was joined by a panel of executives including - Ivan Urlaub, Executive Director, North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association (NCSEA); - Michelle Mindala-Freeman, VP Marketing and Product Management, Landis & Gyr; - Bob Ray,CEO and President, Flint Energies (Member Oglethorpe Power Corporation EMC); - Ken Van Meter, Business Development Director -Enterprise Integration Group, Lockheed Martin; - Chris Womack, President External Affairs, Southern Company. The Q&A ranged from how to cost justify the Smart Grid, the timeframe for adoption and which technologies come first, Smart Grid program challenges and opportunities in Georgia and more. The Smart Grid uses communications and computing technology to transmit and distribute energy more efficiently to reduce our carbon footprint through energy efficiency and renewable sources of energy.

He says the US is already cutting its energy intensity without even trying. “Everybody I can think of the last forty years or so who has done energy efficiency has made money at it.” —– It is now generally agreed that human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases are very likely to cause global warming. This will have serious consequences in the next fifty to one hundred years. What should be done? Some economists argue that taking steps now to mitigate this problem is likely to drive up energy costs and result in reduced economic growth. They suggest that in the interests of economic equality - and particularly to foster economic growth in developing countries - it is better to let growth happen as quickly as possible and rely on future increased technological capacities to solve the problem. Others argue that we need immediate and decisive action on this issue. - Whole Earth Films Amory Lovins is the Cofounder and CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute.

HOW I WILL REDUCE MY CARBON FOOTPRINT.
In an effort to reduce its carbon footprint even further, Babson College has stopped using trays in the dining hall.
The NHS has the largest carbon footprint in the UK, estimated at 18million tonnes per annum , this despite an increase in efficiency has increased since 1990, There are now a number of directives in place to help the NHS achieve targets of 26% reduction by 2020 and 80% by 2050. N3, managed on behalf of the NHS by BT, is a key enabler and can help the NHS achieve these targets in a number of ways, including accessibility to national applications, increasing the efficiency of healthcare professionals whilst improving the welfare of patients. This video shows how N3 is already assisting the NHS reduce carbon emissions by helping to move information rather than people around.
