A startup founded by former executives from SAP and Oracle has rolled out a software-as-a-service offering designed to help large organizations reduce costs through better management of natural resources.Well...
The Environmental and Energy Management system from Hara, of Menlo Park, California, collects data about the resources consumed across an organization, including energy and water, as well as the waste produced, such as carbon emissions.
It then recommends steps to reduce costs and meet environmental goals, and provides online tools for tracking progress. The steps can cover the gamut from renewing insulation at factories to using run-off rainwater for water supplies and switching to ecofriendly "biomass" boilers.

But it sooo sounds defeatists kapitulationist kut und Runner - and obviously is seeking to stab our troops in the back, because it would only be relevant IF our Resource Warriors are not able to "kick their ass, and take their gas"... Which we all know is Mission Accomplished!
