Satellite CEO’s “Sustainable Cities” presentation is online
October 1, 2009
Satellite Telework Centers CEO Barbara Sprenger gave a presentation on sustainable communities as part of the Santa Cruz Green Trade Network summit hosted by the Monterey Bay International Trade Association. You can download her presentation, “Back to the Future: The 21st Century Village” here.
Here’s how they described it:
The U.S. is in the best position to set the global standards to create the 21st Century eco-city model for world consumption, The vision of developing an eco-city that is inexpensive to develop and much smaller in size than ones being established in Abu Dhabi and China and that can be replicated easily to meet the demands of millions throughout the world is possible.
Independent, efficient and more secure local energy sources utilized in conjunction with the major utility providers are also key elements to new sustainable cities in the U.S. An expanded view of a future power generation model that includes municipal, local and co-op power utilities including a consumer choice for ‘green energy’ options will be discussed.
Examples of new ‘mini-grid’ point of us generation technologies that can bridge technologies and effectively integrate the central grid with regional, municipal and local inputs of power will also be presented.
