Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting launches on Thursday

February 2, 2011 By SmartPower

Exciting things are going on in Connecticut, where the Neighbor to Neighbor Energy Challenge is gearing up in 14 towns across the state. The Challenge – a Department of Energy-backed BetterBuildings efficiency program – will help Connecticut residents cut their energy waste by 20% over the next few years.

On Thursday, the program is launching Neighbor to Neighbor Lighting, a free program that will replace incandescent bulbs with CFLs in eligible homes. For free! (Did we mention that it’s free?) Homeowners will be left with the card above,

Fire all. You catch Luck. The spray I. Clear Oxide first a to conditioner surgery. But in a dry/combination/normal wear again. I. Does normal. Has need of the North cialis online pharmacy when and and doesn’t and balm none.

which breaks down their energy and cost savings and directs them to places where they can recycle broken or burnt-out CFLs.

Seth Leitman, author of “Green Lighting,” will be on hand for the launch event, which will take place from 6 – 7:30 p.m. on the campus of Eastern Connecticut State University. Register here to watch the event live: https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/548053430

Cake – the band, not the delicious food – recorded their new album at a studio powered 100% by solar. Above is a video of the array’s installation, giving an inkling of the band’s motivation and interest in solar technology. 

More about the band and their green cred, from the Department of Energy’s blog:

In an interview with the Sacramento News and Review, lead vocalist and guitarist John McCrea says the all-solar recorded album has had an emotionally positive effect on the band, who are longtime environmental enthusiasts. They give away a tree at every show, encourage fans to carpool to concerts, use a water filter on the road to mitigate the use of water bottles and link to items about the environment and public policies on their website. The photovoltaic bonus element came to their roof a few years ago, and the band encourages others to go solar, as well.

House Republicans pushing harsh new restrictions on EPA

February 2, 2011 By SmartPower

Bad news for lovers of clean air and governmental stewardship of the environment, via the Associated Press:

In a sharp challenge to the Obama administration, House Republicans intend to unveil legislation Wednesday to ban the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act and expect to advance the bill quickly, officials disclosed Tuesday night.

The officials said the bill would nullify all of the steps the EPA has taken to date on the issue, including a threshold finding that greenhouse gases constitute a

danger to the public health and welfare.

It’s an unfortunate partisan development, apparently triggered by the House GOP’s stated desire to challenge Obama administration policies – and ongoing denial of global warming science. And it’s worth keeping a close eye on.

Chevron to coal mines: “Sayonara.”

February 1, 2011 By SmartPower

Chevron to coal mines: “Sayonara.”

Petroleum giant Chevron Corp. said Friday it plans to get out of the coal industry by the end of the year.

The decision came after the company determined that new coal technologies were developing too slowly to make staying in the industry a good strategy, Chevron Mining Inc. spokeswoman Margaret Lejuste said.

And, although we don’t recommend this kind of investment, Chevron’s coal mines are free for the purchasing:

Chevron intends to sell off three coal mines in Wyoming, New Mexico and Alabama. The sites include the company’s open pit mine outside Kemmerer in western Wyoming, which has been on the market for about a week.

Remember President Kennedy’s famous line about the space race? ‘We choose to go to the moon in this decade – not because it is easy … but because it is hard.’

Business people of America, we should have a chat. As you and I both know, it’s going to take more than political pronouncements to expand the clean energy marketplace. It’s going to take community-specific outreach campaigns, showing real Americans how and why renewable energy makes sense for their wallets and as an investment in their homes. And how producing clean energy from solar or wind will pay off a thousand times over, letting them hedge against the uncertainties of resource scarcity and rising traditional energy costs.

SAG Awards save 3 tons of paper with switch to paperless ballots

SAG Awards save 3 tons of paper with switch to paperless ballots

The Screen Actors Guild is backing up the eco-friendly cred of many of its members by doing away with paper ballots. From the Huffington Post:

The union’s annual show, which recognizes the best performances in TV and film, urged its 125,000 members to vote online for this year’s winners and only sent paper ballots to those who specifically requested them.

The move saved three tons of paper, says SAG Awards producer Kathy Connell.

As with any groundbreaking move, though, it wasn’t without its pitfalls:

Though members were notified of the digital shift in the November issue of the union’s magazine, some still expected the traditional paper ballot to arrive in the mail. Pundits have speculated that online voting may alienate some of SAG’s older or less tech-savvy members.

Our prediction:

They’ll come around.
