Energy and Resource Intelligence November 27 2010

 On April 29th of 2009, over on Grist, David Roberts posted an article on Energy Efficiency and Sex. Have a look....

In the article Roberts laments the technical, bloodless mantra of efficiency as it is applied to energy and resources, so divorced from the passion and poetry of life. How can "efficiency" ever be sexy? EU parliamentarian Claude Termes suggested "resource intelligence" as an alternative. I like this. From now on, we will speak of "intelligence" rather than "efficiency" in our work.
