"Technocracy is science applied to society"

“Technocracy is technological social design”.

“Technocracy is a blueprint of a new method of social operation”.

"A Technocracy is a society in which the economy uses energy quanta for measurement and control, in place of monetary values".

These are brief descriptions of a very large subject.  Technocracy is proposing a fundamental change in both the economy and in forms of governance in North America.  So first, it is necessary to explain the need for such a change, and then to describe the change itself.

The U.S.A. and Canada together constitute a ‘high tech society’ of continental dimension…one in which the operation of our society is dependent on a vast array of installed technology and a high rate of energy conversion to run it. It is a continent-wide structure, a high energy ‘machine’, providing the means whereby we live.  It is manned by an ‘army’ of engineers, scientists, technicians and operators of many kinds, without which it would not continue.

Any serious interruption of this high-energy, high-velocity structure and its staff, which are our life support, would quickly result in massive loss of life and an irreversible collapse of our industrial society. The instabilities now developing in the financial structure plus the twin crises of Peak Oil and Global Warming threaten just such interruptions.  Such an interruption cannot be allowed to happen. 

But now, in 2008, it appears that such an event is probable.  With Peak Oil, (peak energy) and the Global Warming crisis now developing, it is becoming ever more apparent that our present form of economy and our present form of governance are structurally incapable of taking effective action.  A new administration, a ‘ Plan B’, is called for by an ever increasing and vocal group of writers, scientists, legislators, and ordinary citizens. Technocracy, we submit, is that ‘Plan B,' enabling a  continuance of the technology, with its operating staff, that will ensure our survival.  Here then is the ‘raison d’etre’ for Technocracy, the ‘Core Concept’ that defines it.

The  Core  Concept Of Technocracy

The core concept that is unique to Technocracy Inc .* (established 1934) is simply this: In a 'High Tech' society (such as North America) to ensure stability, and continuity, it will be necessary to institute measurement and control of the economy by energy units instead of monetary units (money), and management of the economy by energy budgets instead of money budgets, at all levels, including consumer credits. That's it!  Due to Peak Oil (and global warming) that need is here and now! Technocracy provides an energy efficient design for survival.  *(Founded by Howard Scott. 1890 – 1970)

The challenge facing our technological society in America is unprecedented and of such a magnitude that no one can avoid it and every man will be involved in the struggle of our civilization to survive.  The following pages will present in some detail the design of the North American Technate and also of the membership organization- Technocracy Inc. - that brings it to the public.  You, as a member, can be part of this.

The Internet is an invaluable tool in enabling the public to access the original scientific investigation of the North American Continent by the Technical Alliance. The general usage of the Internet has led to some confusion because other individuals or organizations are also using the name "Technocracy". No other postings on the Internet are official Technocracy Inc. informational outlets.
