Aneesh Chopra is the Chief Technology Officer and Associate Director for Technology in the White House Office of Science and Technology. He was sworn in on May 22, 2009 and is the nation’s first CTO. He spoke to several hundred Silicon Valley folks at a TiE event early last Saturday morning. I repeat, early Saturday morning.

…

And lastly and most germane to Greentech Media readers, he wants to accelerate the smart grid and energy efficiency through product innovation enabled by open standards. His office is “extraordinarily concerned about cybersecurity in the grid.” and is championing open standards. According to Chopra, “FERC claims we can lower energy consumption with demand reponse by 20 percent.”
