Harvard study: Large-scale US wind power would cause warming that would take roughly a century to offset

Argonne National Laboratory described wind power in Wind Energy Basics:

Basic information on wind energy and wind power technology, resources, and issues of concern. Wind Energy and Wind Power Wind is a form of solar energy.

Making Waste and Consumption Visible

I'm making my waste visible by carrying it around in a bag with me. (Although the bag just got bigger - I received a package in the mail today, and I now have a collapsed cardboard box in my tote bag.) But I've been running across some other creative ways of visualizing waste, like making energy use visible.

In April, Radar reported that Energy.gov was moving to Drupal. This morning, the Energy Department launched a redesigned Energy.gov as an interactive open platform that enables information exchange, open data and localized information for citizens. The new Energy.gov uses a combination of open source technology and cloud computing will save an estimated $10 million dollars annually, according to Energy Department officials.

"Our goal is to make Energy.gov easier to use, more transparent and more participatory," said Secretary of Energy Steven Chu in a prepared statement. "This next phase is part of our ongoing commitment to empower consumers and businesses with the information, tools and services they need to save money, create jobs and find opportunities in the new energy economy."

The new Energy.gov is built using Drupal 7, the same open source content management system used at WhiteHouse.gov, Commerce.gov, House.gov, and it's the system that supported the reboot of FCC.gov as an open government platform. Drupal distributions are now supporting a growing number of open government platforms in local, state and federal government.
