Strategic Economic and Energy Development (S.E.E.D.) is a proposed government corporation that advises United States agencies to implement new technologies to save time and money. While government agencies are given funds to upgrade their technology, many times they hire different contractors which results in an ineffective, decentralized system with a steep learning curve. S.E.E.D. aims to curb this unnecessary spending and ensure that the government receives long term, interoperable solutions that not only save money, but also help create jobs and improve our infrastructure. All technologies are tested against many non-negotiable requirements including interoperability, a centralized system, and a mandatory completion of a cost/benefit analysis.

Famous quotes containing the words strategic, economic, energy and/or development:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
—Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)
“In the west, Apollo and Dionysus strive for victory. Apollo makes the boundary lines that are civilization but that lead to convention, constraint, oppression. Dionysus is energy unbound, mad, callous, destructive, wasteful. Apollo is law, history, tradition, the dignity and safety of custom and form. Dionysus is the new, exhilarating but rude, sweeping all away to begin again. Apollo is a tyrant, Dionysus is a vandal.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Information about child development enhances parents’ capacity to respond appropriately to their children. Informed parents are better equipped to problem-solve, more confident of their decisions, and more likely to respond sensitively to their children’s developmental needs.”
—L. P. Wandersman (20th century)
