Solar Panels are great for saving energy but smart “sun tracking” solar panels are even better.
We should expect to see lots of solar panels starting to “track” the sun instead of staying idle. In fact, every solar panel should be made like this to take 100% efficiency of absorbing solar power.

This is not your ordinary DIY job; these panels are made from discarded and broken solar panels that can be found down at the tip or any other place that may take trash. But what the people who have thrown these away do not realise is that these panels are still ok to use. Sure they don’t as clean and shiny as new ones, but they are free and do work!
Tools needed:
To start making solar panels from broken solar cells you need a few things.

At The 9th Annual Auto Expo in India, the worlds cheapest car was revealed. The Tata Nano will sell for $2,500 US dollars.
The Tata Nano will be sold only initially in India, then Latin Ameria, Asia, and other developing nations. This is so cool and although many environmentalists are up in arms about it, i think in the USA it would be a great boon. The argument is that in India most people now use bikes and or scooters to get around, so with

President George Bush recently signed into law, the banning of incandescent lightbulbs.

The energy-friendly LED, Halogen, and CFL, are what they are to be replaced with. These are pricier (by a few dollars) but they also last much much longer and they will also save you moola in annual energy bills.
The incandescent lightbulbs are to be phased out over the next 10 to 12 years and no longer to be used. A tall task since Americans have

Now just because you make a TV case out of wood, does not necessarily make it green as there are many other factors involved like where the wood comes from and how the case is made.
This is the Swedx version of an eco friendly TV with 19 inch LCD and comes in three different finishes, Ash, Beech and Sapele. But upon further inspection it would seem that the inside of the wooden case are not to eco friendly, when compared to a another TV of the

This biodiesel will be a blend of soybean oil and animal fat mixed with traditional petroleum diesel.
