Twice the height of the Empire State - EnviroMission plans massive solar tower for Arizona
An ambitious solar energy project on a massive scale is about to get underway in the Arizona desert. EnviroMission is undergoing land acquisition and site-specific engineering to build its first full-scale solar tower - and when we say full-scale, we mean it! The mammoth 800-plus meter (2625 ft) tall tower will instantly become one of the world's tallest buildings. Its 200-megawatt power generation capacity will reliably feed the grid with enough power for 150,000 US homes, and once it's built, it can be expected to more or less sit there producing clean, renewable power with virtually no maintenance until it's more than 80 years old. In the video after the jump, EnviroMission CEO Roger Davey explains the solar tower technology, the Arizona project and why he couldn't get it built at home in Australia.

Peanut pioneer George Washington Carver would likely be tickled to know he has a handful of disciples in New Jersey.
Near Earth Day, eco-aware engineering students at Rowan University earned a trip to the nation’s capital by adding to an already-impressive list of 300-plus uses for the fruit, shell and foliage of the venerable “goober pea” that the Tuskegee Institute inventor experimented with in his lifetime.

Extreme Misinformation in the Washington Post: Actually, Wind Power Has Reduced Denmark's CO2 Emissions a Lot
by Matt Wasson, Director of Programs for Appalachian Voices
Original Posted on the Huffington Post on April 26, 2010 01:09 PM
Readers of the Washington Post were served up some jaw-dropping whoppers yesterday about why renewable energy - and wind in particular - supposedly doesn't reduce CO2 emissions, increase our national security, or create jobs in the US. The author of the op-ed is climate change denier and long time fossil fuel cheerleader Robert Bryce. Bryce's piece was part of the Post's "5 Myths" series, which invites readers every Sunday to "challenge everything you think you know."

Climate: Eight Convenient Truths
By Amory B. Lovins
(Editor’s note: this piece originally appeared in Roll Call on Nov. 9, 2009, in a slightly different form.)
In his remarks at the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen in December, President Obama did say (to my delight) that climate solutions advance both prosperity and security, but he hadn’t time to rebut in detail the “sign error”—the widespread fallacy that climate solutions are intrinsically an economic burden.
Now that the post-Copenhagen dust has settled and it’s time to refocus on what we should be doing and get back to work, here are eight convenient truths to consider and share about climate and energy.
