The virtual town called “EfficienCity” shows with animations, videos and lots of information how a climate friendly city might look like. It generates its own energy decentralized from local renewable resources vs. receiving it from a centralized grid of nuclear or coal power plants. Greenpeace uses this Sim-City of Energy to demonstrate a way to lower greenhouse gas emissions, towards a more secure energy supply, cheaper electricity and heating bills and a whole new attitude towards energy…
