Dear Colleagues, I forward this announcement from a project aimed to identify and quantify emissions from all the power plants in the world, with the goal of getting a better idea of locations and CO2 emissions.
Best, David Downie ======================= Begin forwarded message: From: Kevin Gurney <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Ventus website translated to chinese Date: July 11, 2013 1:13:16 PM EDT To: Kevin Gurney <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: Darragh O'Keeffe <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Dear colleagues, I am contacting you with a request to spread the word among your chinese colleagues regarding our "crowd-sourcing" website aimed at improving the location and CO2 emissions from the world power plants. We have succeeded in translating this website from English to Chinese (spanish is next). We are hoping to build an online presence through word of mouth and distribution to listserves. So, if you can take a moment to forward this to listserves, friends, colleagues, we may be able to build upon the start we have already made (>500 power plants, >300 users, etc), I would be in your debt. So, please pass on the simple ventus link: ventus.project.asu.edu<http://ventus.project.asu.edu/> to any and all of your friends, colleagues, acquaintances, anyone interested in this or who might have countrymen with information. listserve announcements, email chains�..anything to spread the word. If we can generate interest across the globe, I believe we can solve this problem for which no suitable alternative exists and we will have done it with people power.
