It is easy to be disillusioned about the motor industry, especially after reading the remarks of GM’s Bob Lutz calling Global Warming a “Total crock of shi*t”!
However, an interview in The Economist recently with Renault-Nissan’s CEO Carlos Ghosn was very heartening. Mr. Ghosn plans that Renault and Nissan will lead the car industry in developing […]
Virtual Worlds such as Second Life are largely dismissed as trivial and a waste of time by many people (myself included until recently!).
However a recent conversation with Pierre-Olivier Carles changed all that for me. Pierre is the co-founder and CEO of Stonefield Inworld - a company which builds things for people in virtual worlds.
For example, […]
When building our hyper energy-efficient data center, CIX we used many strategies to lower our carbon footprint. One such strategy was to source energy efficient infrastructure, such as the GE Super ECO UPS’.
However, obviously one place we chose poorly was in our switches. We went for Cisco switches. Why was that a poor choice?
I […]
Flock launched an Eco edition of their browser the other day.
What way is it Eco? It has a nice green theme, it comes pre-loaded with links to green sites, blogs, and media but far more importantly, 10% of the search revenue will be donated to a green organization that readers select at the end of […]

I am headed to EnergyCamp - the world’s first unconference on Green IT.
It is on this coming Monday, April 28th in Las Vegas and before you laugh too much at the thought of a Green Energy conference in Vegas maybe you should read James’ post on this.

I mentioned previously that Dopplr were about to add Carbon Footprint data to your travel data, well they made it live today.
I got a serious fright when I checked it first as it had mistaken my trips to Dublin last year as trips to Dublin CA (there’s a Dublin in California?). How likely was it […]
I’m going to be in the market for a new car soon. My biggest priority in choosing a car will be its carbon footprint but where can I find this information?
I trawled through Google but had a difficult time finding anything useful until I came across the British Government’s Act on CO2 site.
Here you can […]

I like Michael Kanellos a lot. If you don’t know Michael, he writes regularly on the CNet Green Tech blog and I met him recently when he was in Ireland for the ISA Annual Conference.
However, I was very disappointed this morning to read one of Michael’s stories about a study of the viability […]

Via James I came across this hi-res map of the continental US colour coded by CO2 emissions generated by a team out of Purdue University.
From the site’s About page:
The Vulcan Project is a NASA/DOE funded effort under the North American Carbon Program (NACP)to quantify North American fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions at space and […]

News.com reported the other day that China is to build another 97 airports in the next 12 years. That’s a little over 8 new airports a year for the next twelve years at a cost estimated around $64 billion.
That’s great news if you are in the runway business but not so […]
