Sir Richard Branson: Why the Cooling Challenge Matters | Global Cooling Prize

The planet is getting hotter - we've been saying this for 20 years now. To live and work in these temperatures, Air conditioning needs to become accessible for all. It should not be a luxury, as it is today.

Sir Richard Branson introduces the Global Cooling Prize, hosted by a growing coalition of partners including Rocky Mountain Institute, Conservation X Labs, Cept University, Alliance for an Energy Efficient Economy and more.

Hola, permítanme comunicarles a todos que si se puede reducir el impacto ambiental, minimizando el consumo eléctrico y las transferencias térmicas.
No solo en los aclimatadores de ambientes, si no, también en todos los dispositivos eléctricos y electrónicos.
En vista de todo esto, me gustaría saber cuál es el link oficial para participar en dicho concurso.

We need someone to solve this billion dollar problem. The prize represents less than one percent of the proceeds.

crowdsourcing free innovation to be propertized by the 'challenge' sponsor. this is just a search for sophisticated cheap creative labor . if the X prize fiasco is any guide, this won't e a succesful approach
