The show kicks off in a few hors and we can’t wait to host you.]]> Green Technology Conference Doing Well tag:blog.tmcnet.com,2007:/green-blog//38.33560 2007-09-06T20:57:12Z 2008-05-09T01:42:01Z Rich Tehrani http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/rich-tehrani/ Thanks to all the readers of TMC’s green blog for supporting the Green Technology World conference taking place next week in Los Angeles, CA. Our attendance numbers are far ahead of where we thought they would be based on the limited time we had to market this event. We now expect up to 2,000 people to register for the show when all is said and done. In addition there may be some of you who don’t want to use a computer to register just so you can lower your carbon footprint. We completely understand and that is perfectly OK.
 
For this particular show we will be using electricity in our registration system. We are thinking however that at the next event we may get a bank of Inveneo bicycle-powered PCs to handle this task. We are of course evaluating the carbon output of a human breathing hard versus just getting the juice from a wall socket. More to come later. ;)
 
Oh and by the way, I forgot to mention some of the attendees at the show. We have representation at a high level from Boeing, AMD, Alcatel-Lucent, Qwest, Toyota, British Telecom, Ericsson, Lockheed Martin, Texas Instruments, Cisco, Intel and The United Nations, among others.
 
Here are the sessions we will be focusing on next week in LA:

  • Opening Keynote Address by Rick Snyder, President, TANDBERG
  • Top Ten Ways to be GREEN through Better Networking Presented by Cisco

The blog entry is quite detailed and worth a read. While CTL seems to be a panacea when coal is abundant -- it seems clear it has serious problems in terms of the large amount of carbon emissions the process gives off.
 
The solution discussed in this article regarding storing carbon dioxide while intriguing, seems like a last resort. Still… Green technology continues to evolve and over time there may be a way for us to take advantage of CTL and actually embrace it as a true green technology.
