INDUSTRY INSIGHTS YOUR PEERS ARE READING
One thing an ecosystem needs to survive is a constant supply of energy. The sun provides an uninterrupted supply of energy to the Earth. It can also be stored: liquefied dinosaurs are effectively stored energy that originated with the sun. Energy from the sun can be concentrated in many other forms, and accessible to parts of the planet when they're directly exposed to it. In commercial ecosystems, capital is energy. MORE
But transportation creates a lot of other problems such as energy consumption and pollution, so cars are regulated for their safety equipment, the types and quantities of energy they use, and the amount of pollution they generate. MORE
Not everyone needs high performance but the blatant waste and energy consumption of our industry cannot continue. Wake up! MORE
Shaun Raviv : Friston’s free energy principle says that all life, at every scale of organization—from single cells to the human brain, with its billions of neurons—is driven by the same universal imperative, which can be reduced to a mathematical function. Wake up! MORE
The distribution operation was built on efficiencies: fill delivery trucks to a minimum of 80% capacity and deliver products to customers on routes optimized for time and energy consumption.
