do not know what the back end software is that they use to do
that. Possibly a contractor...?</font></p>

space update: I did inquire with DeepNet about using their
conference room and have not yet gotten a response. I did get a
response from SCP about using their conference facilities a
while back, but they said no, they only allow groups that are
primarily focused on climate change to use the space. I did
notice that the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition (<a

Neat! I didn't realize LF Energy had a local connection. EEweather <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://eeweather.readthedocs.io/en/latest/"><https://eeweather.readthedocs.io/en/latest/></a> looks potentially useful, and I'd heard of the statistical approach to computing avoided energy use, but didn't realize there was an open implementation in EEmeter <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://eemeter.openee.io/"><http://eemeter.openee.io/></a>.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi all,
While I spend a lot of time writing about PG&E and solar, it is nice to see the Press Democrat do a story on an open source software player in the utility world - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/business/open-source-software-company-in-sebastopol-drives-a-clean-energy-superhighw/">https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/business/open-source-software-company-in-sebastopol-drives-a-clean-energy-superhighw/</a>
"The 21st century electricity grid must be a swift superhighway where electrons and data zip in nanoseconds to where they’re needed, in contrast to today’s hodgepodge of proprietary toll roads that barely talk to each other.
That’s the vision that drives Shuli Goodman, the executive director of LF Energy, an international organization she founded in 2019 to build the foundation for that superhighway.
“The power grid is the biggest, most sophisticated machine on the planet. We have to figure this out fast, to insure a smooth economic and social transition,” Goodman said during a recent conversation at her Sebastopol home.
Today’s grid runs largely on fossil fuels produced by giant power plants and delivered by utilities to homes and businesses..."
