The world of journalistic reporting is a funny one, with revisions and corrections sometimes making a lot of work moot. According to Apple, this may be the case for a piece I wrote on the iPhone taking a beating from Greenpeace. So, in an effort to keep our reporting fair and balanced (oh gosh, now I sound like I work for Fox) here’s the other side to that article.
The article in question

For the first time ever, a U.S. regulatory agency denied a coal plant permit solely on the basis of its carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a main contributor to global warming.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) denied permits to two large, 700-megawatt plants proposed by Sunflower Electric Power. The plants would have cost about $3.6 billion and spewed 11 million tons of CO2 into the air each year. That’s almost

Cooler than average temperatures have hit northern California, and the reality of heating our homes for winter has set in. In my experience, most people like to keep their homes comfortably warm, so that they are only wearing a light weight clothes while inside; however, there are many benefits to lowering your thermostat and wearing a sweater. Remember, it is almost winter out there!
Our attire should reflect the outside temperature in our

If your office is anything like mine, you have a TON of outdated/broken/obsolete tech stuff lying around, with nowhere to go. Now, in my office, we try not to throw this stuff out, because we are aware of the fact that it probably is not safe to go into the garbage dump. So we have what is lovingly referred to as the “tech graveyard”. It is a large box in a closet where

When a baby is born, it is so pure and natural, yet will soon be exposed to all of the harsh chemicals of the modern world. It is true that babies are exposed to some toxins in utero and through breastmilk, but this exposure is limited and mostly out of the control of parents. What is in the control of new parents are the kind of products they use on their baby,

While General Electric announced structural changes to compensate for increased business in its energy-efficient lighting sector, BP is planning to restructure itself to emphasize…more petroleum.
Once self-dubbed "Beyond Petroleum" because of its increased focus on clean energy — and even considered to be one of the friendlier oil companies by clean energy supporters — BP is now folding its gas power and renewables division into its two exploration and refining segments.

I have been living off the grid for 15 years now, and there are certain parts of my daily energy use practices I take for granted as normal. Yet, when I visit friends or relatives living on the grid, I become aware of how differently I use electricity. While watching last week’s PBS NOW program about families living off the grid in Iowa, I began to wonder if the principles of

I’m not going to kid anyone and suggest that I’m the only or biggest proponent of this theory, but over the past year or so, I’ve written several articles in various locations expressing the belief that it is businesses that are going to be the ones to break the global warming shackles. In fact, there are many out there who share this view. It will be big business that pushes us all in to

The benefit of breastfeeding for children and their mothers is common knowledge, but is breastfeeding better for the environment? I was recently asked this question in response to Bill Maher’s criticism of public breastfeeding and Facebook’s refusal to post pictures of breastfeeding mothers. In honor of today’s Breast Fest, hosted by the League of Maternal Justice, I will explore the issues of breastfeeding and the environment.

General Electric (GE) has announced it is restructuring its lighting business towards energy efficiency models and decreasing its emphasis on traditional incandescent bulbs. Thanks to consumer demand for efficient lighting and some governments even threatening to ban old fashioned bulbs, GE is refocusing its products to align more closely with the need.
Jim Campbell, President and CEO of GE’s consumer and industrial division, explained:
"We are increasing our focus on the development and production of
