This week, we’d like to point you to two resources – both blogs.
1. Solar Decathlon Winner’s blog
Heard about the Solar Decathlon this week? It was run by the Dept. of Energy. It was a different kind of show-and-tell in the nation’s capital. Amazing photos here.
Essentially a student competition to see how high-tech solar homes could be built. Twenty colleges competed, and the winner was Germany. Competitors were judged on 10 categories: Architecture, Market Viability, Engineering, Lighting Design, Communications, Comfort Zone, Hot Water, Appliances, Home Entertainment and Net Metering.
So the best way to get a sense of the run up to the contest is to read their blog.
2. Blog Action Day posts
Climate took the global spotlight this week in the blogosphere with Blog Action Day (our contribution was one of the 31,000 posts about climate change yesterday, creating a 500% jump). Some 155 countries participated, so there’s a lot of reading here! Blog Action Day 2009
