I argue that net neutrality is part of the battle to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The smart grid will open the doors to energy innovation on the Internet as long as the priority of Internet traffic remains neutral.

I highlight the challenges facing the IT industry related to climate change. Computers produce as much greenhouse gas emissions as the aviation industry and analysts should not take their impact on the environment lightly.

A great opportunity exists for energy innovation. The U.S. Department of Defense is the country's largest energy consumer. Recently, they have started supporting distributed energy generation to improve security on their bases. The future of the military presents a considerable opportunity to push innovation in energy development and deployment.
