Related French Francais: Jeremy Rifkin : "Une empathie nouvelle gagne l'humanité" Le Livre
EU et UE Chaque essai de Jeremy Rifkin, connu pour ses travaux de prospectives à la tête de sa Fondation pour les tendances économiques, déclenche débats et polémiques dans le monde entier, jusque dans la classe politique, que ce soit aux Etats-Unis (il a conseillé le président Bill Clinton) ou en Europe (l'ex-président de la Commission européenne Romano Prodi a fait appel à lui). S'il a été critiqué pour ses vues utopistes et parfois catastrophistes, même ses adversaires reconnaissent qu'il fournit une masse de données colossales à l'appui de ses analyses.
Le développement des associations Les solutions qu'il propose ont été très critiquées, et parfois reprises par la gauche européenne : les 35 heures, les travaux d'intérêt général, le renforcement des réseaux d'entraide sociale, le développement des associations, etc.
Pour commencer, qu'est-ce que vous inspire la tragédie nucléaire au Japon? Des guerres coloniales et néo-coloniales
Jeremy Rifkin : Fukushima sonne le glas d'une époque. L'ère prométhéenne de l'humanité s'achève, qui a débuté avec l'exploitation des houillères, la construction des hauts-fourneaux et des locomotives, quand nous promettions aux peuples la corne d'abondance et défions Dieu lui-même, lui volant notre salut pour le réaliser par nous-mêmes. C'est ce rêve d'une humanité libérée par l'industrialisation massive, l'exploitation systématique des ressources terrestres, la manipulation de la matière, perpétué avec le nucléaire et ses travaux colossaux, ses spéculations d'ingénieurs et son pouvoir du secret, qui s'effondre. Cette catastrophe marque la fin du règne des énergies dont l'accaparement a nourri les grands affrontements géopolitiques du siècle dernier, autour de l'accès aux gisements de charbon, pétrole, gaz naturel, uranium. Des guerres coloniales et néo-coloniales ont été livrées, des gouvernements destitués, des dictatures soutenues ouvertement ou en coulisses, des pays pillés, de nombreuses vies sacrifiées parce que les pays riches rivalisaient pour sécuriser leur approvisionnement énergétique. Ils ont accru considérablement leur niveau de vie, urbanisé la planète et fondé des industries puissantes qui ont fini par bouleverser les manières de vivre de tous. la "politique de la biosphère"…
La troisième grande révolution industrielle et énergétique de l'humanité a déjà commencé, elle se fonde sur le sentiment collectif que nous ne pouvons plus continuer comme avant, s'appuie sur un nouveau sens de la responsabilité écologique, faisant appel à des sources d'énergie renouvelables, et se développe de façon décentralisée : c'est ce que j'appelle la "politique de la biosphère"… La mondialisation, tant décriée, est d'abord celle de l'accès à la connaissance.

 CO2 reduction from IT sector 8 Gigatons 2020 The GeSI report estimates that the entire IT sector could reduce approximately 7.8 gigatons of CO2 of emissions savings by 2020 or about 15 percent of emissions project by 2020. The It sector overcomes the problems of Classic conservative Power companies having difficulties with modern Interconnection like Smart grids
Google and Cisco focused on Smart grid and Smart buildings So, the IT sector has a significant role to play in reducing energy use and carbon emissions, presenting an enormous business opportunity. Companies such as Google, Cisco and others are now focused on smart grid and smart buildings; your home and your office. Smart grid and smart buildings refer to the ability to monitor energy use and adjust based upon real time data, a two way exchange of energy information. For now, Google is focused on home energy management and Cisco on commercial energy management.
Google is focused on home energy management and Cisco on commercial energy management. is focused on home energy management and Cisco on commercial energy m However, considering the blurring of market boundaries, this may separation may change over time. The new energy management products The two most interesting developments currently are from Google and Cisco (full disclosure, Cisco is a client of DOMANI). Google has essentially bypassed the need for a smart meter by partnering with Energy Inc. to provide a home energy meter, which works with Google's energy management software. The Google PowerMeter and Energy Inc.'s TED 5000 (The Energy Detective) monitor energy use from a web browser or smart phone. The information from the system includes real time energy use and approximate cost, trends and comparisons to previous use.

Nov-1-2009 Munich Germany $400bn plan to provide Europe with solar power from the Sahara moved a step closer to reality today with the formation of a consortium of 12 companies to carry out the work.
15% Clean Sahara electricity for Europe 2050 The Desertec Industrial Initiative (DII) aims to provide 15% of Europe's electricity by 2050 or earlier via power lines stretching across the desert and Mediterranean sea.
The German-led consortium was brought together by Munich Re, the world's biggest reinsurer, and consists of some of country's biggest engineering and power companies, including Siemens, E.ON, ABB and Deutsche Bank.
It now believes the DII can deliver solar power to Europe as early as 2015.

October 27, 2009 California quietly passes first statewide Smart Grid law
Gov Schwarzenegger signed Largely ignored by the national media, California passed the first statewide Smart Grid bill in the U.S. earlier this month, amid the flurry of renewable energy and efficiency legislation Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger also signed.
California First State to Sign Smart Grid Legislation SB17 into Law.....energy economy
With SB 17 in place, a 21st century grid could be realized in California within the next five to ten years, allowing for a fundamental change in the way we think about, and use, electricity. It would also help jump start a new energy economy, creating green technologies and green collar jobs.

Cleantech Society Masdar City / Abu Dhabi
O 5 MW Airconditon geothermal O 500 MW Solar thermal power O 100 MW Solar PV power
Geothermal airconditoning
Construction starts on Nov-1-2009, by Reyjkavik Geothermal. The Icelandic company has been handed a $1.6 million contract to export its geothermal know-how to energy-hungry Masdar City.
Geothermal airconditon, how it works:
When complete, the geothermal project will be used to power Masdar City's five megawatt air conditioning system. Water circulated in the geothermal wells will generate steam that turns turbines, all in an attempt to give a welcome burst of cold air to residents of the desert oasis. The geothermal project is only a small part of Masdar City's sustainable plans. The cleantech center will also feature a 500 megawatt solar thermal plant, a 100 megawatt solar array, and a number of green energy companies.
