Energy Security Conference Alert: IAGS' Target Energy 2013

As projected several years ago in this great 5-minute video, paving the way for demand management, energy efficiency, microgrids, support for renewables and all manner of support-the-mission, energy security goals (with cybersecurity baked in).



From all accounts, the folks involved with this initiative are right on schedule and are meeting their objectives.  Recommend you keep an eye on this.
