ENERGY POLITICS
ENERGY IS OPEN
If we want to change our energy model in a short time, we need to facilitate this by open models, everybody can both improve and use. The open source movement in IT has showed that this model delivers the best innovation, at the highest speed, on the right track. To facilitate this there should be initiated an Open Foundation. This is one of the main targets of Planck Foundation. Open models put the knowledge, the intellect, the action and the economics of each person, business and government in the centre of change and offers facilities to support these. Channelling the own power of each and every person, business and government gives more speed and effect by the same effort. Open Foundation: Open Foundation (www.openfoun.org) facilitates in data structures the changes needed for global prosperity the 21st century. New realities in high prices for energy, water, resources and food, plus in huge geographical changes in purchasing power will have significant prosperity effects. Economies that are mainly driven by cheap energy will 'slow down' severely by high energy prices. Open Science: Open Science is about facilitating scientists by wiki collaboration in very easy registration of new developments for open use. These publications will make it harder for registrants of closed science to conquer earlier OS driven research output. The 21st century challenges needs a lot of new science. Closed science delivers only fractional the progress OS can deliver. Open Technology: Open Technology is about an applied basic science collaboration wiki, combined with actual experience into new advanced open product technology/models. OT delivers inventors that are dedicated to open technology a similar business environment as open source has given to the software industry. OT is about ready to use open product design. Open Education: Open Education is about facilitating the creation process of education programs that can be used both online and offline. Users of the education material can comment on it, surgest changes or correct educational errors. OE also delivers test structures and certificate issueing structures. Education, certification and testing actual knowledge will become easy. Open Content: Open Content delivers a data structure content producers (scientists, technies, writers) to publish their work out of the regular copy right barriers. This in done in a structure that allows user comments. By this the producer gets his work distributed and gets feed back. Open Content is a modern facilitation of the peer-review concept. Open Finance: Open Finance is about using Quantitative Easing fully for energy transition investments and stopping the use of QE for governmental and corporate debts. Using QE for correcting the past, crushes the monetary future. Using QE dedicated for energy investments enables the economic future. Without energy transition, prosperity will fade away in the 21st century. Open Government: Open Government is about democracy 2.0. OG is wiki collaboration based and about transparency (something the 20th century has not given). Big government equals less transparency. Government should not be far away from the people/companies they represent. The farther government is away of people and companies, the less it is effective and the more it gets polluted. Open Social: Open Social is about an online software protocol (API) that's supported by Google, Drupal, Linkedin, Yahoo and many others. The personal web page will become the user desktop and collaboration will become the leading IT model: OS will become the winning standard in modular online IT. By its modular design OS will push in rapid speed all big both open and closed source IT projects aside. Open Local: Open Local is about realizing sustainable prosperity in local communities. OL is wiki collaboration based and describes local focused plans for sustainable prosperity for cities, towns and villages. Everywhere to realize solutions for local sustainable prosperity. From high tech (datacenters) to low tech (windmills). OL is about local less dependent more sustainable economies. Open Business: Open Business is about creating instant to use business models in a collaboration wiki. They are a turn-key combination of science, technology, organization and markets. Facilitating people who want to operate a business in their home town, but are not able to research all for this needed facets by themselves. OB is about empowering people. OB is about stimulating local economies. Open Action: Open Action is about cooperation in adjusting the new realities of the 21st century. Based on Open Social API tech. OA is about facilitating people and companies in there energy transition, which is needed to maintaining prosperity in the 21st century. OA is also about demand stimulation and concentration (making investments possible against lower prices).

National Governments: Open Foundation's analyses and models are free to use for everybody, also for National Governments. In reality besides analyses and models, NGs need customizing, initiative and realization. For bridging this huge gap between theory and practice, they can ask Open Foundation to provide initiation/realization or management/control responsibility for energy finance models. Central Banks: Open Foundation's analyses and models are free to use for everybody, also for Central Banks. In reality besides analyses and models, CBs need customizing, initiative and realization. For bridging this huge gap between theory and practice, Central Banks can ask Open Foundation to provide initiation/realization or management/control responsibility for energy finance models. Energy is Open is a very valid statement.
