Can Burning Man Leave a Legacy of Renewable Energy?new
Last month, a 90-kilowatt solar array -- some of which was used to power the eponymous Man at last year's event -- was placed in the town of Gerlach, Nev., as a donation to the Washoe County School District. It will give the school free, clean power for the next 25 years, saving the district about $20,000 annually.

Making Solar Panels More Affordable in San Francisconew
"The idea with my proposal is the city would use its very high credit rating to borrow money at almost zero cost," Sup. Gerardo Sandoval says.

Carbon Indulgencesnew
Carbon offset fees may be new, but the underlying notion goes back to the Middle Ages, when the Catholic Church sold wealthy people indulgences to offset the spiritual cost of their sins and assure a place for them in heaven. And yet at least the kids in 1380 knew that indulgences were bullshit.
