Publications américaines sur l’électricité, le smart grid, les clean tech. Par Alain Baritault.
Voici le texte d’un petit article publié par Esme Vos qui publie entre autres un site appelé Muniwireless. Esme est une fervente avocate de l’implication profonde des municipalités dans la mise en oeuvre des infrastructures de haut débit, très haut débit, accès internet sans fil, dans l’intérêt des consommateurs. Elle a été l’une des toutes premières aux Etats Unis à militer activement pour le WiFi public gratuit et accessible partout. Elle s’intéresse de près au haut débit rural, au très haut débit, à la neutralité du Net etc…
Pour elle, les nouveaux enjeux des municipalités, au delà d’une certaine maîtrise des télécommunications sur leur territoire passent par une meilleure compréhension et un meilleur usage des infrastructures électriques. Le développement durable passe aussi par la technologie, les télécommunications qui permettront une meilleure connaissance et une meilleure maitrise des dépenses d’energie et un développement plus équilibré des territoires.
Elle cite ci-dessous une liste de magazines américains qui peuvent servir de base à ceux qui s’intéressent aux différents sujets liant télécommunication, énergie et développement durable. Une mine de renseignements, d’études et de news.
