6. GridMobility Renewable Demand Response

GridMobility has developed technology with the ability to report elecricity generation sources in real-time empowering electricity consumers to actively manage their power consumption. This patent-pending technology goes beyond price-based signals to provide consumers with real-time information about electricity sources thereby for the first time enabling consumers to make informed decisions resulting in consumption shifts from on-peak to off-peak, from carbon-based to renewable resources.

These are great ideas, thanks for sharing - I'm assuming some of these are still in production stage...

I love the useage of the fluorescent light bulbs, but they have to be built much better than they are. Seeing that Chinese manufacturers have made the lions share of these products, I suggest that a challange for better longetivity to their poor manufacturing processes bulbs be made by the governments of the consumers. Say, a world wide standard light bulb longetivity be established and that every light bulb manufacturer must prove through continuous life testing that their product will meet these demands. Contrairy to one's beliefs, China can and does produce some quality designed and manufactured products. They just need to be goaded into doing just that.

This comment is directed to Tom W. and Steven M. as I thought they might find it quite informative:

http://freeenergynews.com/Directory/Howard_Johnson_Motor/

While this motor is still in development, along with related research and development of derivative works, it is exactly what Steven M. was referring to. Steven is correct in that there are variations of this out there that aren't 100% efficient, but are working prototypes, while the Howard Johnson motor isn't complete yet. Progress on the Howard Johnson motor, along with its derivative works and variations, is continuing daily. The goal of the Howard Johnson project is to provide all of the plans, in an Open-Source arrangement, so that anyone could build one and benefit from the project.

Just a little food for thought for today :)
