Innovations include a unique solar installation at the company’s headquarters, a hybrid-electric service truck, and emerging renewables from biogas to wave energy

A Japanese company called Genepax has developed a car that runs entirely on water, eliminating the need for a costly hydrogen fueling infrastructure.  Looking forward to following this story.

This guy from Olympia WA put together a video showing off his car, powered by electricity from the sun.  He asks the million dollar question: why are we not all driving on electricity.  The simple reason a few years ago was economics… now it’s starting to make economic sense to drive an electric or hybrid car.  Look forward to seeing more of these kinds of videos.

This is a really good presentation from John Doerr, legendary venture capitalist at the TED conference.  The bit about what Walmart is doing to go green and the big impact on that is very interesting but puts into perspective on what a GLOBAL issue this is.  We can do everything possible to go green but it won’t matter much if China doesn’t follow.
