The U.S. cannabis industry is currently eating up more than 1% of all electricity each year. Keep in mind that it’s not even legal at the federal level, so you can imagine how much electricity the industry would be using, and what demand would be placed on electric grids, if marijuana were legalized across the country. The needs to reduce greenhouse emissions created by the weed industry, as well as lower electric load and expenditures, makes the energy sector a clear beneficiary of a budding cannabis industry.

KawiSafi Ventures seeks to bring clean energy to ten million people with investments in fast-growing companies while also making competitive returns, according to a statement on Tuesday from Acumen, a New York-based nonprofit founded by Novogratz. Early investors in the fund include TED curator Chris Anderson, the Skoll Foundation, venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson and the Green Climate Fund.

The Class I, Div 2 LED luminaire works with a touchscreen management interface for operation. Up to 100 fixtures can be networked onto a single controller and banked to control zones for both on/off and dimming capabilities. As a result, lights do not have to be on 24/7, nor do the conventional fixtures suffer the wear and tear of typical operation. Integrated occupancy sensors can override scheduled off or dimmed states when someone enters the area. Ambient light sensors also harvest daylight to automatically dim the light fixtures when there is sufficient light coming through windows or skylights.

Saratoga, too, plans on converting its streetlights to LED, and is also studying which equipment to install on poles as part of broader connectivity efforts.

The QuadSight quad-camera stereoscopic vision system offers unparalleled obstacle detection capabilities for autonomous vehicles by fusing visible-light with thermal imaging. The system detects obstacles of any shape, form or material, under all weather and lighting conditions.

Using Google’s TensorFlow machine-learning system, able to process a massive amount of images for near real-time recognition, two Cupertino students working with Google’s AI Impact Challenge have deployed a working prototype to identify, predict and send early warnings of forest areas at risk for wildfires. To do this, the system processes a massive amount of images and weather data to determine the moisture content of dead forestation (dead branches and leaves) – fuel for a destructive wildfire.

For an example of crime prevention, violent crime was virtually eliminated at a convenience store suffering from two armed robberies a month when Blue Line Technology’s facial recognition system was deployed for access control. The system rapidly analyzes a customer’s uncovered face, then unlocks the front door when there is no match against known felons.

But observers hope that trajectory will end soon. Groups like WRI and NRDC contributed to a new green Belt and Road alliance that the Chinese government launched at this week’s forum, possibly in response to mounting criticism of the environmental and climate toll of its early projects.

But now officers can drive through wi-fi checkpoints at stoplights. While waiting for the light to change, data is automatically downloaded into a secure storage medium and made available for review and indexing.
