Changing Power.
I was just thinking about the sOccket soccer ball
http://www.soccket.com/ and one of the problems I have with it and potentially any other energy entrepreneurial things out there.
The issue I have is with the lack of entrepreneurship. I would, personally, here and now, love to have a sOccket. I would pay to have a sOccket, I would give sOcckets to the soccer club at my school right here and now, and I can think of thousands of people worldwide who would love to have a sOccket.
In the name of entrepreneurship the sOccket team has not given free-licence to their design, has not put models up of how to create this thing so people either need to get their sOcckets from them, or figure out on their own how to make something like this.
But then further, you can't buy them yet.
I just read that they're planning on releasing them as a high tech toy sometime this year but things like this are going to need a lot of noise, I wonder and worry a little, how much noise will they make? Will it be enough to make a difference?
As far as an "Act I can do to change how I use power" my apartment complex already uses solar panels to reduce taking power from the local grid. Other then trying to convince my "boyfriend" but mostly roommate to possibly unplug his 4 computers or his big screen TV or to help me pay for a new energy-star appliances or the other excess of old technology he has running at any given moment there's not much I'm physically capable of doing to reduce my power to the grid. I wake up with the sun and go to bed when it goes down at 8:00 already. I have only one small bulb in my room and no other technology then that. My laptop battery runs for 5 hours on a charge so I use it a lot, but unplug it and turn it off when I don't use it. Could *I* cut back more? Maybe, but not alone, and sadly I'm completly solo on this quest.
