- Tim Wu mentioned this morning about a look back in history with the recorded tape.
- “Sustainability” is in every ag conference for the last 10 years, ICT “cloud computing”
- Nathans vision of a built in alberta, canada solution is absolutely brilliant. Not from the standpoint of protectionism within political boundaries, but a real genius to recognizing a sustainable potential within a demographic. This in itself has genuine qualities of sustainability.
- The fact that Data storage and processing is the fastest growing anthropogenic GHG emitter on the planet is crazy… we have an yet another opportunity in Alberta to help with this
- This map built off of a 5 year history of satellite imagery
- I will now share some real examples of the last couple years to help quantify what I am suggesting
- Lets take a closer look
- Ecstatic to be in a collaborative, long term sustainable environment with the minds of people like James, Nathan and Robin. Thanks
