I’ve followed and supported Acumen since 2009, and as a green-energy manager and economist, I support community-scale energy systems as the most efficient solution. And yes, I know all about economy-of-scale.

But I believe that Acumen is missing the greatest opportunity for economic, as well as social and environmental impact. What’s being lost is the opportunity to exploit this need for energy as a catalyst for self-managing, self-scaling, energy-based community marketplaces that empower and impel sustainable prosperity. And yes, I know that Acumen doesn’t have a portfolio that fits that, which seems a shame. All the best in all your good work. www.reconomy.net
