Embedded solution to Polution - An Al Gore idea
"Embedded systems can be the most powerful part of a solution to this crisis," Gore said. "Our old, legacy systems are ridiculously inefficient." This message was delivered at the Embedded Systems Conference last week.
Why not "unleash the IT revolution," Gore said, and create a power grid where small "microgenerating" sources, including homes and businesses, can generate clean power and sell it into the grid? With efficient photovoltaic cells and better windmills, maybe we won't need centralized power generation plants that spew CO2.
I have no problem with Al Gore's views as my Phd research has observed that it is possible to reduce power and increase throughput for embedded devices.
