When my colleagues released NRDC's annual Testing the Waters report documenting pollution problems across the nation’s coastlines, the last thing they expected was this jaw-dropping Orwellian tweet to pop up on their computer screens: @BP_America Official BP.@NRDC Annual #Beach Water Report released today...

Energetics: Year Two
I started this blog about one year ago (actually, Energetics had its inaugural post on March 22, 2010). Since then, I've posted 116 entries, averaging somewhere between 5-15 per month (with the exception of April 2010, which had 47 separate posts, a pace which I apparently could not sustain). Energetics has had, as of this writing, 3,851... [read more]
Social Media & Cleantech: Why the Latter is Not Using the Former

Cloud Energy Consumption: Google, Twitter and the Systems Vendors
Yesterday Tom posed a question: just how green is cloud computing? We have been frankly disappointed by Cloud computing providers reticence to start publishing numbers on energy consumption. We know for sure that energy is a big deal when it comes to the huge data centers the likes of Facebook are building- these firms are siting data... [read more]
From Cope to Hope: Twitter to the rescue?
Can Twitter save civilization? We’re about to find out. As the clock winds down on the big climate negotiation in Copenhagen this December (formally known as the 15th Conference of the Parties, or COP-15), the future of the planet and its inhabitants may be in the hands of tweeters, especially tots, teens and twenty-somethings. Several... [read more]
Plug In and Save
Individual action is always worthwhile, even while we keep our eyes on the prize of national and international action.
