ENERGY INDEPENDENCE & CLIMATE PROTECTION: A BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE, HIGHLIGHTS OF INTERVIEWS WITH 6 NATIONAL EXPERTS This video explores the problem of a petroleum-centered economy and the urgent need to transition to a cleaner, more cost-effective, less politically hazardous, and economically and environmentally sustainable future. It suggests the time has come when government, business and the public are aware of the need to build a comprehensively "new economy". Pres. George W. Bush, considered by many an "oil-man" declared in his 2006 State of the Union address that "America is addicted to oil, which is often imported from unstable parts of the world. The best way to break this addiction is through technology. Since 2001, we have spent nearly $10 billion to develop cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable alternative energy sources — and we are on the threshold of incredible advances." Bush announced an investment initiative to provide 22% more funding for research into renewable energy sources. The moment is seen by some as a sign that American society is at a "tipping point", where all parties are now aware of the need to move forward technologically into a sustainable future.

Sentido anticipates increasing convergence between moving and broadcast media and the static, readable internet. It is with this in mind that we have begun planning the launch of a "Sentido TV" digital platform for online posting and reader download of moving news footage and reporting.

Sentido's aim to extend its service into broadcast format multimedia stems from the belief that information is valuable in itself and that providing information over multiple channels liberates the audience that consumes such information. Sentido will not reduce its textual offerings, but will provide enhanced complementary audio-visual coverage of key stories.
