Video: “Technocracy Inc. Transition Steps”

In Spring 2016, Technocracy hired three interns to participate in a group project to establish a viable Transition Plan from the current price system to a sustainable energy based economy. The interns involved in making the video are; Wyatt Catron, Shamania James, and Toby Rose.

Information

After establishing guidelines and bench marks and participating in an abbreviated Technocracy training course, the students came up with a thought-provoking outline of steps for a transition. We have to admit the students’ hard work, dedication and perseverance provided an interesting video with realistic and potentially viable steps to achieve the goal.
