Kitegen Stem – High Altitute Wind Energy
The Kitegen Stem is an italian developed power plant that is rated at 3MW. A 27MW kitegen Windpark (9 stem units) is under construction since Dez 09.
1MW installed will be about 4 times cheaper than conventional windturbines with a capacity factor from 50-85% depending on location an operating high (800-10.000m).
The Stem could be operated offshore or on a ship.
Heres much more information on the project (with comments by the Italien inventors).

See Through Solar Cells
Fifty years inthe making, solar-power cells are still flat, rigid, and ugly. But new research shows how they could be made lightweight, flexible, and transparent. These innovations could expand solar-cell use to things like solar fabrics and power generating windows.

$1 portable, collapsible solar hot water collector
Making hot water using unmodified trash bags (which were later used for their intended purpose). You can’t beat the ROI on these DIY solar collectors. In cold, cloudy or windy climates, an additional layer of plastic can be put over the top to hold the heat in like a greenhouse. Some day I will replace these with an inclined box and a toilet valve filler, complete with shower head.
