A proposed amendment to existing solid waste disposal laws would restrict export of virtually every non-working electronics device to developing nations.

Finally, an update to a post I made in May about LED bulbs that are targeted at mainstream America and don’t require you to visit some obscure store or distributor to buy them.

OK, so I lied. THIS is the last post I will make based on my attendance of last week’s EmTech@MIT conference at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I’ve been mulling my notes a bit because, frankly, it probably was one of the most potentially controversial sessions of the entire conference: “The Future of Energy.” The [...]

There is wide consensus, of course, that clean sources such as wind and solar — which are also highly intermittent — simply [...]

Plenty of people seemed to be interested in my brief post yesterday about T-Mobile’s installation of a solar-powered cell site in Pennsylvania. So I figured you’ll also be interested in some related comments made at the EmTech@MIT conference by Sprint Nextel CEO Dan Hesse. (The conference is an annual one held by Technology Review magazine [...]
