Sadly, Obama's climate change plans will not have much effect on Death Valley's extreme heat. Stopping plate tectonics may be next speech.Resistance in real-time — Global Power Shift kicks off in Istanbul - Waging Nonviolence
Climate change isn’t just the biggest problem humanity has ever faced, it’s also our biggest opportunity to rethink the way we live, rethink our economic system, and rethink the way we treat each other and the planet. In fact, we will have to have these new systems in place in order to survive on this planet.Twitter / shubclimate: Greenpeace: "Today...we created ...

New solar panels sensitive enough that they generated measurable power off the full moon this week http://reneweconomy.com.au/2013/first-solar-finds-a-new-power-source-moonshine-49126 …Just wondering: How many acres of "lunar panels" would you need to power Google's party jet for a year?
A photo-op of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin plugging-in a hybrid car was part of the search engine giant’s June announcement promising carbon neutrality by 2008. But how this PR-fluff squares with the so-called “Google party jet” — Page and Brin’s gargantuan personal Boeing 767, which burns about 1,550 gallons/hour — is any one’s guess.

This Moonshine PV claim is BS. Someone forgot to check which way the meter was spinning- that is, if that was power generated by the panels, or power delivered to run the inverters. An inverter bank for 136 MW might be 97% efficient, and needs 4MW to operate at full load.
Moonshine peaks at about 0.01 W/m^2, or 1/100,000th of noon sun. The maximum DC panel performance would be around 2kW before BOS losses.
This is hilarious! The article on the moon-powered solar array has been pulled from the website.
I wonder if weepy Bill McKibben will tweet a correction now...
I don't know about Weepy Bill, but the web site that carried the story has published a retraction:
