weekinreview_0815.jpg

The news was definitely covered in a deep shade of green this week, with plenty of eco-friendly technologies making noise. The biggest (literally) news was this solar array planned for India, said to be the largest ever. Also on the solar front, the Suntable gives you renewable power right in your backyard. And if you really want to go green, get ready to replace all your compact fluorescent lights with ESL (electron stimulated luminescent) bulbs when they become available next year.
