Kevin Costner is know for his environmental stance, and has taken flack for some of the things he’s said. That said this News Story shows that it seems he may be able to back up his feelings with something that won’t tank faster then Waterworld… (okay bad pun since I actually liked the movie)

Tesla is making some big moves, literally. The company is planning to relocate from its current headquarters in San Carlos, California, to a $250 million facility in San Jose, California, the construction of which will begin in the summer of 2009. The reason? The Model S, an all-new 4-door 5-passenger zero-emissions luxury sedan powered by [...]

This year’s West Coast Green, showstopper, is made from five 40-foot-long shipping containers that once roamed the high seas, packed with washing machines and the like. From the outside, the two-story, 1,700-square-foot house, dubbed Harbinger for its potential to influence home construction in the years to come, looks like the sort of modern dream home [...]

What does a coral reef look like 50 years after being nuked? Not so bad, it seems. Coconuts [...]

Special water saver sprinklers water lawns even when there isn’t an official drought, and they are using the same low flow toilets and [...]
“A little-known island continent of floating toxic plastic garbage, TWICE the size of Texas, is growing in the pacific between California and Hawaii. Officially known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, until it can be taxed, U.S. officials will continue to ignore it. I heard of it once many years ago, but it apparently has [...]
I finally got my first bill from AT&T in a cardboard box containing 300 pages of it. Apparently, they give you a detail transaction of every text message sent and received. Completely unnecessary. [Tasty Blog Snack] What she doesn’t note in that blurb is that every line is for $0.00. They are detailing everything, call [...]

I’ve posted before about how fast Electric cars can go. And I think I’ve even done a write up about the WriteSpeed. But even though I posted the video of a Ferrari and Porche getting beat, that was the Writespeeds X-1′s distant cousin the Arial Atom (They share the same body). Now that I’ve said [...]
