The aim is to calculate the potential drastic reduction of resource use, if all the elements of the peer production stack were used concurrently and integratively. The original document was prepared by Celine and Xavier @ BlaqSwans Collective ?in Dec-March 2016.
Description
"To document and show the thermodynamic efficiencies of peer production: i.e. showing that with 80% less matter and energy, we could conserve 80% of vital modern infrastructures, avoiding a post-peak-oil (peak resources, climate change) meltdown.
In other words: to show that a transition to open and shared models can result in significant savings in the amount of matter and energy needed for a civilized and comfortable infrastructure. Our wild guess is that 20% of current levels would allow us 80% of current usage levels (say the level of the 1960s in the West)."
