The chairman of the UK’s largest bank Lloyds TSB tuned up for work not in the normal luxury car that would be probably seen in, but appeared outside the company head office in no other than a G-Wiz, the all electric car.
Of course, he may have got in the car just around the corner to make an entrance as the press had congregated out the banker’s office due the financial crisis that we are all feeling at the moment.

When it comes to emergency power for those small electrical items, they do not any more eco friendly than a wind powered device. We are used to seeing huge wind turbines on the roofs of homes and offices, but small devices are a little thin on the ground.
The Mini Kin Green Power Generator only requires a slight breeze to get the thing charging and this is so new that there is not much more information about it, yet!
Priced at $55

Hair dryers use up a lot of electricity, and the longer they are used the worse it is, so it good to see an electrical company looking into this and producing a decent eco friendly hair dryer that use half the electricity of a normal hair dryer.
Details:
The BaByliss Eco Dry gives the same drying performance of today’s 1000W dryers, with only half the energy consumption*.
Eco-air™ system uses advanced heater and airflow technology.

The idea of solar charging has just go a great makeover with this solar cell tree call the PhotonSynthesis. It is powerful enough to charge almost any gadget from Mp3 players to mobile phones. However, this does not happen through direct charging, in the base there is a battery which collects the charge.

All that the user needs to do is plug their device into the connector. It is exactly like charging through the electric socket, but utiliz

To conserve energy and cut costs, owner Adam Boesel has come up with The Green Gym. This gym harnesses human power and turns it into electricity.
The Green Gym located in Northeast Portland, is shooting for 100% human power to run its operations, but for now it is at 20 to 25%. Some of the exercise machines are plugged into weedwacker motors and truck alternators and when the machines are in use by the gym patrons, it juices up the gym.

Wind power is brilliant, but there is so much opposition against wind farms and even when they get planning permission, a wind farm can be seriously expensive mean that the return on the investment makes for a long wait.

However, in the Netherlands, researchers from the Delft University of Technology are working a working model of variant of the wind farm, except this time, they are using kites to generate enough power for around ten homes, whi

There are some sources that say by leaving some electrical items on standby, that it is just as bad as leaving it on all of the time. Whether it is true or not, the thing is that the device still uses electricity and sometimes it can be dangerous. This is where the Energenie comes into play.
