  big roofs + solar = good

  Big rooftop installations are a great idea -- we sure have a lot of huge flat roofs, the enviro impact is practically nonexistent, and it's easy to connect to the grid. I'm concerned about the massive installations planned for the desert, which is a delicate ecosystem -- one is 9 square miles of  what essentially will be a parking lot with a little more drainage. This and others will destroy habitat and block wildlife corridors, among other things.On Massive solar installation completed in Southern California posted 12 months ago 1 Response

  they get it

  This vehicle ain't sustainable, and the fine folks at Grist get it. Bottom line is, we won't begin to have sustainable transportation until the big automakers stop manufacturing cars like this--and manufacturing the demand for them.

  all those allen wrenches

  It's a small thing, but I'd love to be able to return my collection of wrenches for reuse. I wonder why they don't provide them separately, so that if you have one you don't have to waste another. On IKEA invests in cleantech, may soon stock solar panels posted 1 year, 3 months ago 4 Responses
