Reinventing Our Energy Futures
Next week, members of IFTF's Technology Horizons research program will be attending a workshop on alternative energy called Reinventing Our Energy Futures. Technology Horizons clients will receive a Reinventing Our Energy Futures Map that forecasts the impact of four alternative energy scenarios on households, markets, organizations, and other institutions, with a focus on regional energy tech ecosystems in California, China, India, and Brazil. The methodology we use for the map is alternative futures. Thanks to Jake Dunagan (@dunagan23) for bringing that methodology to IFTF from the Manoa School of Futures Study!
The map will be available to the public in May of 2012...but you can get a peek at some of the signals we have been tracking by looking here. Over the coming weeks, we'll be live tweeting from the workshop (using the #AltEnergy tag), continuing to track alternative energy signals (follow IFTF's Twitter feed), and blogging about those signals and how they fit into our Alternative Futures framework. We'd love to see the signals you find while we reinvent our energy future...feel free to use the #AltEnergy tag as well!
