I Have a Secret

June 02, 2009

There's a growing story out there that wants to be told: how the electric vehicle, the green building and the smart grid are inexorably coming together, making something as bold and transforming as the personal computer and the World Wide Web. The modern day equivalents of Timothy Berners-Lee, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are out there now, launching this big huge vibrant "it." 

So where is this story amidst all the rehashed, twice baked, lame-o stuff on the TV and internet? How come no one is scrambling to get this story out? Who will tell this story?

Discovery Channel. Tomorrow Disco will hear the pitch on a mini-series that explores the successor to the information age. An in-depth look at the technology and the players and the plays. Smart Garage and Better Place and V2G in Newark, Delaware, RechargeIt, Andy Frank, AIA Challenge 2030, Duke Energy, Hawaii, PickensPlan, Gridwise and so much more.

(Look, uhhm, I'm telling you guys, but please don't tell anyone. If Discovery Channel passes, I'm peddling this to NatGeo, then CNN and MSNBC.)

I'm trying to reach Andy. He and I met at the E2S2 conference in Denver in early May. I am the Marine from Naval Postgraduate School that discussed the Navy's Ocean Energy projects. I would like to link Andy up with Brian Cable, the Navy's leading Ocean Energy engineer, to discuss what the Navy's current and future goals are.
