Smarter grid could cut coal plants by efficiency gains
A report on the GridWise project notes that a 5 percent efficiency improvement in U.S. electric use could prevent about 90 large coal fired plants over 20 years. With more homes than ever using air conditioning public demand and supply must align through demand response and smarter control of energy use.

Light replaces electricity to speed future computers
Scientists race to embed photons in nanophotonic interconnects to shuttle data faster than copper wires. IBM and Intel researchers describe switches that route signals between hundreds of cores, with DARPA funding a $44 million Sun Microsystems project to develop ultra high speed optical communication within chips.
