2009年4月19日 · Instead, a stranger who has seen the good deed listed by the neighbour online will step in to help the teenager. The bank is hoping to create virtuous arcs, rather than circles, of unadulterated altruism all over Estonia, with the feeling of goodness serving as its own reward.
Money was a mere fiat of the law. Fiat means “let it be done” in Latin. “Fiat money” is money that is legal tender by government decree. It is simply a “tally,” something representing units of value that can be traded in the market, a receipt for goods or services that can legally be tendered for other goods or services.

1. Alex Pazaitis: "A P2P energy grid is a P2P network comprised of microgrids, in that are in close proximity from one another. It shares the same rules and characteristics as its component networks, which can be P2P microgrids. In this context, excess energy from each individual microgrid can be distributed in the rest according to their needs, ba...
Arguments for Microgeneration of Energy
1. "Microgeneration is cost-effective. Some of Micropower technologies are more accessible than others but all can deliver on at least two of the four energy policy objectives; reductions in C02 emissions, reliability of supply, fuel poverty relief and maintaining competitiveness. For example, a micro-CHP unit will deliver the same comfort levels as a modern boiler, whilst reducing the emissions of a typical house by 1.5 tonnes (around 25%) of CO2 per year. This can help relieve fuel poverty,...
Solar power as inherently distributed
Travis Bradford of the Prometheus Institute for Sustainable Development, and author of the book: Solar Revolution: The Economic Transformation of the Global Energy Industry, in an interview by Alternet Travis says that we’re moving towards a distributed power generation model, with solar as the only viable option. He says: Solar is different from other energy technologies in that it delivers energy at the point of use, directly to the end user. That allows it to circumvent the entire supply c...
Weaknesses of the "Off the Grid" Approaches
Steve Bosserman : "In the traditional centralized Power Grid, power is concentrated in a select number of locations and authority is distributed to other points as needed and according to priorities driven by limited supply during periods of peak demand. The overall system, no matter how inefficient or costly, strives to be convenient, available when needed, standardized in delivery, and transparent during use. The goal is to please the most and dissatisfy the least so that fundamental assump...
Policy Case: California
Michael Bishop describes a possible opening in California "It's possible that in the near future, the California EnergyCommision and/or the California Public Utilities Commission willrequire the utility companies to actually pay residents that put more electricity into the grid than they took out of it. Once this happens,distributed generators will have much more leverage for developing P2Pnetworks in which surplus electricity is bought and sold with minimal utility involvement. The electric...
