DOE Recovery Act Milestones at 200 Days
Every 100 days, the Department of Energy is held accountable for a progress report on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. This is an update at 200 days, hosted by Matt Rogers, Senior Advisor to Secretary Steven Chu for Recovery Act Implementation.

Length: 3:07 minutes

The New Geopolitics of Energy
Michael Klare, the Five College Professor of Peace & World Security Studies at Hampshire College, discusses the new geopolitics of energy.

IBM Smarter Planet: Efficient Grid Models for a Smarter Planet
Jesse Berst is interviewed as part of this documentary built for IBM by Radical Media. Hear Jesse and others discuss the economic benefits of implementation of the Smart Grid.

Green Growth - Korea's Key to a Better Future
As this video explains, Korean President Lee Myung-bak has put green growth as the country's top agenda since his inauguration, and stressed the importance of the development of environment-friendly technologies that will boost Korea's economic competitiveness.

The Smart Grid: The Future of Electricity Distribution?
Steve Bossart of NETL discusses the vision for the electricity grid in the United States, including the seven characteristics that will define it.

Envisioning a Smart Grid
In this presentation, Andrew Tang, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, describes how technology and the Smart Grid will increase efficiency and lower costs for electrical consumers.

Google Efficient Data Centers Summit - 1 of 3
Strategy and technology to create data center efficiency.

What Exactly Is A Smart Grid?
Power needs are growing at a much faster rate than our grid capacity. Greater energy effiencies can be implemented using smart appliances that can talk to a smart grid, giving consumers control over their own power consumption and electricity costs. As this video suggests, this will save money for our nation, protect our power sources from blackout, create jobs and deliver clean, alternative forms of energy.

National Clean Energy Project: Building the New Economy PT 1
Overcoming clean energy infrastructure challenges and reducing America's dependence on foreign oil is the theme for the forum covered in this video. Participants in the discussion include Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), former President Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore, former U.S. Senator and United Nations Foundation President Timothy Wirth, business leader and clean energy advocate T. Boone Pickens and Center for American Progress Action Fund President John Podesta. The discussion cites inadequate access to transmission as one of the most significant barriers to widespread development of renewable energy.

Bridges to the Future, Part I: The Smart Grid
Produced by the National Science Foundation, Jerry Beilinson, deputy editor of Popular Mechanics, leads a discussion of the future of electrical grids and the implications they have for the safety of the future. As Americans become increasingly dependent on electricity, what is being done to make the nation's electrical grid more resilient and nimble?

The Race For The Electric Car
60 Minutes' Lesley Stahl reports on efforts in the U.S. in electric car production.

Need of Voltage Quality Regulation in the Future Electricity
So Sharmistha Bhattacharyya explains why voltage quality regulation is needed in today's electricity infrastructure. Electricity as a commodity should satisfy strict quality requirements. At present, no definite responsibility with respect to power quality (PQ) aspects at the point of connection (POC) is defined in the European standard EN50160 or other standard.

Modern Power Grid
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory provides overview of a modern power grid. This video highlights the changes needed to keep up with our growing energy demands.

Network Your Devices by Bumping Them Together
The research explores distributed sensing techniques for mobile devices using synchronous gestures. These are patterns of activity, contributed by multiple users (or one user with multiple devices), which take on a new meaning when they occur together in time, or in a specific sequence in time. To explore this new area of inquiry, this work uses tablet computers augmented with touch sensors and twoaxis linear accelerometers (tilt sensors). The devices are connected via an 802.11 wireless network and synchronize their time-stamped sensor data. This paper describes a few practical examples of interaction techniques using synchronous gestures such as dynamically tiling together displays by physically bumping them together, discusses
implementation issues, and speculates on further possibilities for synchronous gestures.
