I'd rather live my life off screen and give only a certain amount of energy to the work.

There's a lot of noise in the world, and the Internet magnifies that energy.

Today, we're very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted - all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.

Using the Internet as as vehicle to work with people is fascinating. It's sort of a Pandora's box of energy for me.

Energy-saving technologies keep improving faster than they're applied, so efficiency is an ever larger and cheaper resource.

The energy you create around you is perhaps going to be the most important attribute - in the long run, EQ trumps IQ. Without being a source of energy for others, very little can be accomplished.

The Internet provides the access to resources, so it's incumbent upon the people who control those resources to make sure that the economic engine stays intact.

Energy, health care and education are just three examples of areas in which information and information management are critically important. How are we using our energy? What appliances in homes or business are consuming the most energy? When do they consume it? Can the load be shifted? How efficient are these devices?

Wouldn't it be amazing if we spent as much energy investing in experiences as we do investing in things?

We're leading a fundamental shift from centralized energy to distributed energy. Energy will go in that direction, just like mainframe computers went to client servers, then to the Internet. I believe in solar, and the macro trends are just too undeniable.
