Whats the biggest attraction you have ever seen? Mine would have to be the world’s largest nickel in Sudbury. Those roadside attractions that claim to be the world’s biggest always give me a bit of a chuckle, like the worlds largest ball of twine. All these attractions are funny but what about the worlds largest solar farm? Thats right, green/eco tourism is coming!

New Zealand's isolated geographical location has lead to an energy portfolio that contains a large renewable energy mix. Electricity is generated mostly from hydro and geothermal energy. Wind is a growing energy resource. For transport, New Zealand relies on oil imports. No wonder that the New Zealanders are interested in exploring electric or fuel cell vehicles, with the electricity and hydrogen generated in New Zealand in an environmentally friendly way.

Untreated sewage flowing into the sea from Gaza as we still cannot seem to rise above our differences and tackle the common environmental threat!

Province Introduces Emissions Tax on Coal; New Energy Conversion Program Part of Manitoba's Climate Change Action

UPC Wind marks the one-year anniversary of commercial operations for Mars Hill Wind in Maine.

Some great new design options for residential wind turbines in New York City. Will be mounted on historic brownstone as a supplement to Solar PV. Part of a total green renovation.

Utility companies are increasingly concerned about the power crisis facing large organisations and in the US this week they have met to discuss the actions and incetnives needed to get IT organisations to take the issue seriously.

In January, Scientific American writers unleashed an ambitious plan to halt global warming, eliminate our dependence on petroleum and the substantial trade deficit, boost the economy and create 3 million jobs, and brighten the dismal forecasts for the mid twenty-first century. Their solution: solar power, which could eventually provide 90% of transportation energy.

Wave power has improved very much and it still didn't reach its full potential! more of those soon.. we have to replace oil and coal-based energy

Victoria's plan to roll out "smart" electricity meters to 2.4 million homes and small businesses across the state could inadvertently trigger an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, a report has found. A major study commissioned by state and federal energy ministers also raises doubts about the claimed economic benefits of the scheme, with the roll-out expected to cost as much as $5.5 billion nationally by the time it is completed in 2016, for very little gain.

The hot story in the news today is: Pharmaceuticals Found in Drinking Water. Media is also reporting that scientists do not know the long term effects of exposure to these drugs, or the best way to dispose of medications.

Michael Mudd, Chief Executive Officer, FutureGen, is interviewed on FutureGen, a planned near-zero-emission coal-fired power plant and the Department of Energy's recently announced restructuring of that project.

They're controversial in Cape Cod, a welcoming sight in Seattle, and growing in number across the Unites States. New wind farms are being built almost daily.Opponents argue that the pure size of wind turbines (about 250 feet tall) results in an ugly skyline and a dangerous flight path for birds. Supporters

Wind power has gained a lot of popularity over the last few years. We've seen mega-watt wind installations through out the world, the development of wind co-ops, and a flurry of small and micro wind turbines released to the residential market. Most of these small and micro turbines are expensive and don't generate enough energy to be cost effective.
