Green tech finds: from solar power to the Super Bowl Super Bowl
Sunday is coming up, and while I don’t pay enough attention to
say whether it’ll be a good game, it will definitely be a
green(er) game. That, plus cooler roofs for more efficient solar
power, and a very quick look at over a century of global
warming: your green tech finds for the week. Buy renewable
energy for your Volt: While the arguments about the energy
sources for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are generally

cleanest power they can get for their vehicles. So, GM is

26 seconds. (via Climate Central
