Obama Should Make Energy Research Accessible

,----[ Quote ]
| The open source philosophy of collaboration should also be reinforced by lab 
| directors. This would require a cultural shift as researchers can be 
| protective of their projects and funding allocations.  
| 
| Opening the books as to where the money comes from would also give citizens 
| more confidence that public funds are being used wisely. Earmarks granted by 
| senators to start projects in their districts could be compared to research 
| already in progress.

| I'm referring to the need for the OLPC XO laptop to be extremely efficient in 
| its power consumption. The OLPC laptop is designed to be used in places where 
| there is no reliable power grid, or, in many cases, no power grid at all. 
| This has challenged the OLPC Project is be very creative in how power is 
| generated, stored and conserved.
