Energy Certificates. There are a large number of different
bookkeeping devices whereby the distribution to, and records of
rate of consumption of the entire population can be kept. Under
a technological administration of abundance there is only one
efficient method — that employing a system of Energy Certificates.
By this system all books and records pertaining to consump-
tion are kept by the Distribution Sequence of the social mechan-
ism. The income is granted to the public in the form of Energy
Certificates.
These certificates are merely pieces of paper containing cer-
tain printed matter. They are issued individually to every adult
of the entire population. The certificates issued to an individual
may be thought of as possessing some of the properties both of
a bank check and of a traveller's check. They would resemble
a bank check in that they carry no face denomination. They receive
their denomination only when being spent. They resemble a
traveller's check in that they possess some means of ready identi-
fication, such as counter-signature, photograph, or some similar
device, so as to establish easy identification by the person to whom
issued, and at the same time remain absolutely useless in the hands
of anyone else.
The record of one's income and its rate of expenditure is kept
by the Distribution Sequence, so that it is a simple matter at any
time for the Distribution Sequence to ascertain the state of a
given customer's balance. This is somewhat analogous to a
combination bank and department store wherein all the customers
of the store also keep bank accounts at the store bank. In such
a case the customer's credit at the department store is as good
as his bank account, and the state of this account is available to
the store at all times.
Besides the properties enumerated above, our Energy Certifi-
cates also contain the following additional information about the
person to whom issued : TECHNOCRACY : THE DESIGN 239
The background color of the certificate records whether he has
not yet begun his period of service, is now performing service, or
is retired, a different color being used for each of these categories.
A diagonal stripe in one direction records that the purchaser is
of the male sex; a corresponding diagonal in the other direction
signifies the female sex. In the background across the face of the
certificate is printed or water-marked the two-year balanced-load
period, say 1936-37, during which the particular certificate is valid.
Also printed on the certificate are additional data about the re-
cipient, including the geographical area in which he resides, and a
catalogue number, signifying the specific Functional Sequence and
job at which he works.
When making purchases of either goods or services an indi-
vidual surrenders the Energy Certificates properly identified and
signed. These surrendered certificates are then perforated with
catalogue numbers of the specific item and amount purchased, and
also its energy cost. These cancelled certificates then clear through
the record-keeping apparatus of the Distribution Sequence.
The significance of this, from the point of view of knowledge
of what is going on in the social system, and of social control, can
best be appreciated when one surveys the whole system in per-
spective. First, one single organization is manning and operating
the whole social mechanism. This same organization not only
produces but distributes all goods and services. Hence a uniform
system of record-keeping exists for the entire social operation, and
all records of production and distribution clear to one central
headquarters. Tabulation of the information contained on the
cancelled Energy Certificates day by day provides a complete
record of distribution, or of the public rate of consumption by com-
modity, by sex, by Regional Division, by occupation, and by age
group.
With this information clearing continuously to a central
headquarters we have a case exactly analogous to the control panel
of a power plant, or the bridge of an ocean liner, or the meter
panel of a modern airplane. In the case of a steam plant the meter
panel records continuously the steam pressure of the boilers, the
fuel record, the voltage and kilowatt output of the generators,
and all other similar pertinent data. In the case of operating an
240 TECHNOCRACY STUDY COURSE
entire social mechanism the data required are more voluminous
in detail, but not otherwise essentially different from that pro-
vided by the instrument panel in the steam plant.
The clearing of the Energy Certificates, tabulated in all the
various ways we have indicated, gives precise information at all
times on the state of consumption of every kind of commodity or
service in all parts of the country. In addition to this there is
also corresponding information on stocks of materials and rates
of operation in every stage of every industrial flow line. There
is, likewise, a complete record on all hospitals, on the educational
system, amusements, and others on the more purely social services.
This information makes it possible to know exactly what to do
at all times in order to maintain the operation of the social me-
chanism at the highest possible load factor and efficiency.

Мне не понятны след. моменты.
1 Если всем выдаются карточки по 200000 ккал/день, а человеку для жизни нужно 2000 ккал/день, то что мешает мне купить чёрной икры на все 2000 ккал (как я поняла, чрезмерное потребление контролируется, поэтому купить тонну черной икры не удастся, но вполне можно заменить ею весь рацион)? Если так поступит каждый, то это может спровоцировать дефицит. А заявляется , что экономика бездефицитная.
2 Заявляется, что труд людей будет сведён к минимуму(т.к. целые сектора экономики будут упразднены) и заменён на труд роботов. Останется незначительное количество ручной работы. Но если все получают карточки на одинаковое количество единиц энергии, то что заставит работать людей из этой категории?

Но ответ какой-то туманный. Типа, всё само собой решится; есть люди, которые побегут делать грязную работу бесплатно. Что-то слабо верится...
