Too good a post not to mention. We should never underestimate the power of innovative thinking and ideas when approaching some of the most intractable issues of our age. For me, what matters is (pardon the pun) creating the right climate for innovation to flourish - incentives matter enormously when it comes to developing ideas to reduce CO2 emissions. Can open source be a catalyst for effective and viable solutions?
