TUSTIN, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 24, 2013) - Premier Holding Corp. (
Dr. Clark is a Nobel Peace prize recipient and noted industry author, and sits on the board of Premier Holding because he believes the company has a unique approach which encompasses his practical ideals of taking a local approach to reducing energy consumption, replicating that on a large on-site distributed scale. "PRHL has the best strategy of utilizing deregulated energy to springboard to distributed and on-site generation; complementing this with prescriptive energy reduction solutions so that the energy systems are 'agile' or flexible, meaning local unique solutions are applied to local unique problems," he said.
Dr. Clark is working closely with the leadership of PRHL to build programs that help businesses make the best choice in power generation and reducing power consumption. Many industry experts, including giants like Warren Buffet, believe that this shift in how power is provided is a $500 billion market and will be the biggest transfer of wealth in the history of the United States.
The company is excited that Woody is now an active working board member and has helped position PRHL with the recent purchase of The Power Company (TPC) to capture this market and deliver much better solutions that benefit each unique business, consumer, investor, and ultimately, mankind.
The Earth Day 2013 Forum held on Monday, April 22, 2013, at the Los Angeles City Hall was organized by Council Member Tom LaBonge, with Bharat Kris Rao and Muriel Wood (BNARCO) for the Sister Cities with Los Angeles, to explore diverse global perspectives on mitigating climate change. The event gathered experts from the private and public sectors, representatives from a dozen countries, and industry experts to focus on how to move from awareness to action, which was punctuated by the keynote address from Dr. Woodrow Clark.
Dr. Clark's enthusiastically received address pointed out the need for a paradigm change, that every state, country and continent is inextricably interconnected, because the "world is round" and what happens climatically and economically in one community has a dramatic (and devastating) effect on others around the world. In describing the current efforts worldwide to reduce pollution, he cited his forthcoming book, "The Green Industrial (Economic) Revolution," which will be published this year in Chinese (before it is published in the USA,) in order to note that China, the world's No. 1 greenhouse gas polluter, is now investing in its current Five-Year Plan, not merely incentivizing, but building sustainable communities and infrastructure improvements, whereas the US has yet to have even a plan.
Drawing from his current book, "The Next Economics," Dr. Clark illustrated that economists have skewed the meanings of words, symbols and numbers to the point where they "do not mean anything, except support particular preconceived political perspectives." In order to take the necessary next steps to achieve sustainability, and not just inch toward it, economics needs to become a science in itself so that a unified plan with funding that comes from business and government can be developed and deployed. A "qualitative economist," Dr. Clark has a remarkable cross-disciplinary perspective that merges the physical science of climate change with the practical and pragmatic approach of achieving change through the economies of the world. To do so, he says, "An accurate, common definition of terms and goals needs to be established... Not only can we do it, but we MUST do it now for the sake of our children and grandchildren."
