Motivations:
- John Holdren (US Presidential Science Advisor) “Climate‐Change Science and Policy: What Do We Know? What Should We Do”
- David JC MacKay “Sustainable Energy – without the hot air”
Hereby we add a general schema, some web resources and scientific papers useful to start thinking about webvalley 2011 project.
