Using the Internet to Stay Informed about Energy
Abstract
A new tool, the INTERNET, has arrived on the scene
to help everyone who has anything to do with
energy: the energy user, the utilities, the equipment
manufacturers, energy management firms, and
energy brokers. The INTERNET is useful to the
same degree for both large companies and small, one
person or a Fortune 500 business. What is the
INTERNET? It is a powerful communications tool
whereby anyone can contact anyone else, worldwide,
to either provide or reuieve information. Using the
existing telephone system, a computer with modem
and proper software, and a connecting source, called
a server, an individual can retrieve any information,
including energy information, that exists on the
INTERNET in a site called a "home page". A "home
page" or "Web page" is the INTERNET presence of a
company or person, written in HTML computer
language, that describes in words and pictures
whatever it is that it's owner wishes to display about
him/her/itself.
