To appreciate how economically disruptive the TIR is, consider the changes over the past 20 years. The democratisation of information and communication has altered the nature of global commerce and social relations as significantly as the print revolution. Now, imagine the impact that the democratisation of energy across all of society is likely to have when managed by internet technology.

I'm a Futurist on the journey from Ego to Eco, author of 5 books (see below), and a globe-trotting keynote speaker on media, social technologies, communications and - as of late 2011 - 'Green Futures'. I am currently looking at sustainable future scenarios, biosphere-like economics and what I like to call 'ecotalism' (or capitalism 2.0...?) as well as at renewable and networked energy and the idea of possibly adapting internet, networked-society principles to the world's urgent climate and environment issues.
