Comment on Collaborative Consumption: Infographic by Rent-n-roll

Rent-n-roll — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:16:41 +0000

Another good example for Collaborative Consumption is peer-to-peer carsharing, which is now also becoming more and more popular in Europe; see for example WhipCar in Great Britain on http://www.whipcar.com/ and rent-n-roll in Germany on http://www.rent-n-roll.de/. Nevertheless, promoting p2p car rental might be much easier in countries where ownership of is not as important as its use. In my view, that’s one of the reasons the U.S. is the chief pioneer for Collaborative Consumption.

Comment on Retrofitting Apartments with Smart Meters by Miss American

Miss American — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 21:35:58 +0000

I sure wish the people promoting this ‘wonderful’ technology would address the serious health ramifications of multi-family dwellings with hundreds of meters.

But the PUCs, utilities, and companies grabbing for their piece of the pie NEVER mention health aspects that will ruin some people’s lives.
