Sunflower, there is another reason to invest in these solar thermal power plants.
According to Earth: The Sequel (pg45), "it is the only clean energy technology with the near-term potential to match coal not only in price (which some windmills can do) but also in scale..."
One such solar thermal start up, Ausra, has been working on building several of these plants in Australia, Portugal, and California. Their website claims that "using Ausra's current solar technologies, all U.S. electric power, day and night, can be generated using a land area smaller than 92 by 92 miles."
More innovative companies working to stop global warming are highlighted in this video.

Despite its perils, fish farming can help fulfill the world's growing appetite for fish, if done right. But we must address the very real ecological damage that some types of farming operations cause, such as transmitting disease and parasites to wild fish populations.

Making fish choices based on sustainability is one thing but having to factor in mercury contamination makes eating seafood a bigger ordeal than it has to be. Environmental Defense has done this research for you, though, so don't despair yet. Along with a handy pocket version, our seafood selector will tell you the best fish choices for you and the ocean.

CFLs ARE safe and easy, though! Please send any skeptics to Environmental Defense's CFL Guide at http://www.environmentaldefense.org/page.cfm?tagid=608. The FAQ page addresses some of these issues.
And, like Grist has mentioned before, LEDs are up and coming too! Climate411 has a whole post on these energy-saving lights at http://environmentaldefenseblogs.org/climate411/2007/05/1 ...
