Greenlist: The Future
>> The Future of solar-powered homes. David Pogue of the New York Times covers the Solar Decathlon, which showcases gorgeous, luxurious houses that are completely off the grid (don't get any energy from utility companies).
>> The Future of organic grocery shopping. A bunch of new stores targeting organics-conscious consumers are slated to open. The Pasadena Whole Foods sounds like a mall in itself!
>> The Future of the energy bill. Only the Senate version has Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards (requires higher MPGs for new cars sold in the U.S.); only the House version has the renewable energy standard (would allow 15% of our energy from wind, solar and other renewable sources). Julia Bovey, federal communications director for the Natural Resources Defense Council, explains what comes next.
