U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu - Energy Efficiency: Achieving the Potential, Realizing the Savings

Submitted by Charles Frost on Wed, 03/17/2010 - 20:19.

"For the next few decades, energy efficiency is one of the lowest cost options for reducing US carbon emissions. Many studies have concluded that energy efficiency can save both energy and money. For example, a recent McKinsey report calculated the potential savings assuming a 7% discount rate, no price on carbon and using only "net present value positive" investments. It found the potential to reduce consumer demand by about 23% by 2020 and reduce GHG emissions by 1.1 gigatons each year -- at a net savings of US$ 680 billion.

In approaching 30 years of living and dying as an entrepreneur, I can say that to choose this path in life is to choose to be treated like a dog, by everybody... unless you make a fortune. That said, it is a better life than that of cattle and sheep. And, like Lassie, an entrepreneur may truly save the day.

The hidden cost of open source VoIP billing solutions

Submitted by Linda123 on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 09:37.

When businessmen hear the term “open source” software, it often implies another meaning – "free" software. Although open source VoIP software is possible to download and use for free, it doesn’t mean that there won't be extra expenses for its support or updates. First thing you have to remember, is that once you choose an open source VoIP solution you save only on the software license but additional costs might arise unexpectedly.

Plain Dealer Insight of the Day: "Call me paranoid. But the enemy is starting to look like us."

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 07:19.

For some reason I decided to check-in on Cleveland.com this morning and was lured into Phillip Morris' odd head by his catchy headline "It's not the fat woman we need to watch, she's only a decoy", which ends:

Call me paranoid. But the enemy is starting to look like us. They are home grown. They wear our military uniforms; they go to our schools; they are "radicalized" at computers purchased at the same neighborhood electronics store.
