- Dell one-ups rivals with latest renewable energy claim
- First posted on Smartplanet's Business Brains blog. The equations that some companies use to calculate their exposure to alternative energy sources are admittedly somewhat misleading and completely self-serving. Keep in mind that often, when a company says that 50 percent or even 100 percent of its energy...

- Solar to feds: Let's be creative about incentives for alternative energy investment
- Remember how happy all the alternative energy tech companies were late last year when the government renewed the tax incentives possible for investing in their products?

- Giving myself a grade on last year's green tech predictions
- Time for a little self-evaluation. I dug up my blog entry from New Year's Day 2008 to see just how off-base some of my predictions for the year-that-was wound up being. Here's how I did overall: Out of my 10 predictions, I can reasonably say that...

- Another bit of positive green investment news. Smart grid is again the focus.
- More positive news on the clean-tech investment front announced before the market meltdown but significant nonetheless: Another smart-grid player, GridPoint, is using at least some of its $120 million in recently raised equity financing to buy V2Green, which sells technology for integrating infrastructure for supporting plug-in electric hybrids with the...

- Something in the air: Several random wind energy updates
- It's been so still here in northern New Jersey for the past week that I can't imagine using the technology that I'm going to mention in this post. And yet the wind has been known to bend the trees in my yard, like kelp responding to a tidal surge. So,...

- Google journeys to the center of the earth (well not quite) with latest alternative energy foray
- Apparently Google's philanthropic arm isn't content investing in just one source of alternative energy, which makes sense considering the geographic diversity of the planet we live on. The search and business applications giant last week said it will put up about $10.25 million toward energy technology called enhanced geothermal systems...

- Pulling money out of thin air. Or, why wind power should be a neighborly concern.
- My mother and I chat a lot about different alternative energy options, mainly because she is lucky enough to live in Hawaii where solar hot water has been mandated for future construction. But one thing that has been ultra controversial on the Big Island has been wind power for the...

- Silver Spring Networks boasts smart grid network in action
- OK, oil just hit another high today, and it's getting easier and easier to cash $100 bills at my local gas station. They used to give me trouble for changing a $50. Harry does a much better job of blogging about energy sources than me (because IT is my thing...

- Mirror, mirror on the wall. Where’s the greenest city of them all?
- It shouldn’t shock you to hear that I receive a lot of pitches for this blog. (Which is a very good thing for ideas, actually, so keep them coming.) One trend I’ve noticed is that many of what I’ll call the “real” green-tech efforts and experiments are...

- Are you willing to pay more for a green tech supplier?
- How much does a particular supplier’s green profile affect your decision to sign on the dotted line? I will answer this question personally and say that up until now, not much. I couldn’t tell you, for example, where it’s really best to buy your gasoline. (Because,...
