GE acquires Irish Smart Grid Start Up


The article above discusses GE's acquisition of an Irish "Green" tech company and their future plans to develop environmental friendly technology.

I was an Environmental Planning major as an undergrad and have a fascination with green technology.  FMC-Tech "has developed technology to allow utilities to monitor their power lines in real time."  This real time feed of information relates to a lot of what we talked about on week one, as well as the concepts in the text.  Access to real time informational data is bound to influence decision making, hopefully for the better.
