http://stakeventures.com - My blog about startups and agile banking
interesting conference. I'm the CTO of Mobino (http://mobino.com) a
mobile payment service that basically interfaces bank accounts with
mobile phones (bypassing credit card and carrier as payment options)
and am currently in process of writing a Masters thesis on an open
internet payment protocol. I'm not 100% sure, if the conference is
quite up our domain (we tend to trade in EUR instead of of other
currencies) and would appreciate if you could point me towards some
more information that allows me to decide if I should fly over to
London.

> In this context, what are energy futures? Google just gave me futures
contracts for oil and such.
I have been using the term "Energy Futures" as a short form for a model
proposed by Shann Turnbull (see Morehouse, Benello, Swann & Turnbull
"Building Sustainable Communities" 2e, TOES, 1997). He has developed
the model a bit further since then, and others (some quite different but
still backed by energy) exist.
This ST model is useful both for bringing renewable energy generation
systems into community ownership and for creating a secondary
energy-based currency for local circulation. Some time ago I attempted
a diagrammatic summary:
http://esrad.org.uk/projects/LCS/kWhF_flows_2.png and
http://esrad.org.uk/projects/LCS/kWhF_map.png
The model assumes a co-operative local banking service with sufficient
autonomy. This is (apparently) not unrealistic in parts of the USA and
Australia but it's something we lack in the UK which is why (on several
occasions) I've thrown in the idea of formation of a secondary mutual to
provide UK-wide shared resources to enable CUs and CDFIs to provide the
necessary banking services.

I'm sure it does - #slowtransport isn't catching up with
the #slowfood movement, otherwise I'd be travelling
to London by canal boat ;-)
