Sounds icky? Sounds yucky? Sounds just too weird?
It may be so but there are some environment advocates who are already looking at used cooking oil from restaurants as a fuel source for vehicles. After all, it is no secret that the world’s fossil fuel sources are slowly depleting.
The group of advocates seems to have already […]
Well, I’ve got material here to make it to 25 posts, but it’s just a few minutes until my 12 hours are up and my brains are fried, so 24 it’ll have to be.
Some final shout-outs before I call it a night…
Props to Shea Gunther for putting this whole thing together. You rock, dude!
To […]
It was looking like Aaron Nuline of the Powering Down blog wasn’t going to be able to join us on the Green Blogathon, but it now appears as though he has managed to find some time and he’ll be blogging through the night in support of his charity, Trees for Life.
So…if you’re an insomniac who […]
There’s a somewhat newer Solar blog out there that I recently discovered called SolarDweller. Jason, the man behind the blog, did a post last week on the importance of keeping your PV panels clean.
Of course you want to ensure that there isn’t any shade hitting your panels, especially during your peak hours. Shading […]
This info is little old (December 2004) but it was the most recent that I could find to terms of highlighting who the top green energy utilities are in the US.

Three Minnesota municipal utilities—Austin Utilities, Owatonna Public Utilities and Rochester Public Utilities—have launched a unique program through which their customers can support the development of small-scale local solar electric projects. With the SolarChoice program, clients can pay a premium through their monthly electric bills that will provide annual incentive payments to utility customers with […]
Check out this ‘Personal Powerstation‘, a nifty hybrid of wind-up mobile phone charger, wind-up flashlight, and wind-up radio, all rolled into one.
Among its features, you’ll find an auto scanning FM radio, ability to recharge standard Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola cell phones and the ability to recharge digital cameras that accept 6V AC.
5 minutes of winding […]
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has developed a comprehensive software tool that allows folks to perform their own energy audits online, apparently a first, though I seem to recall seeing at least one similar tool elsewhere (though at this late hour in the blogathon, I doubt I’ll be able to find it).
By entering your zip […]
Earlier this week, California’s Napa Valley College dedicated it’s new solar electric system. The 1.2 MW PV array is the largest in northern California (they say) and will provide 40% of the college’s electrical needs.
The solar array consists of 5,565 high efficiency solar modules and covers an area of 150,000 square feet. It’s […]
Well, I’m still plodding along here. That nasty chest cold that I’ve got is making it a challenge, but I shall fight on. I’ve already set a personal record for number of blog posts in one day, which I’m chuffed about.
The little one is being put to bed and the big girls are […]
