Solar Powered Glowing Plant Pot!



Solar Powered Glowing Pot!

Here’s an aesthetically great lookin’ pot that glows at night with the solar energy absorbed during the day.  It’s a great fit for any home garden that need light at night.

But what if the pot is shaded by trees, walls or fences, we hear you ask? No problem because its solar cell is on a separate spike connected to the pot via a 3m cable. Simply stick it in the ground and hide the cable. Genius, and no mains wiring required. What’s more the whole shebang is splashproof to protect against the gorgeous British summer.

Green Google? - Google is investing $125 Million in BrightSource Energy!

Green Google? - Google is investing $125 Million in BrightSource Energy!

Google (GOOG) just announced that they are investing $125 million in BrightSource Energy, a company that focuses on generating solar energy.

You never hear these things from Microsoft or any other big tech companies but it’s great to hear that Google is focusing on the brighter future for our earth.

I did notice Google.org, which is Google site dedicated to putting off some of their revenue for things like this.

Great stuff Googlers!

Today we are pleased to announce our participation in BrightSource Energy’s $115 million venture financing with a $10 million equity investment as part of Google’s RE<C initiative.

Solar thermal energy generation is one of the key emerging industries addressing the changing global climate and we are excited about both of our current investments in solar thermal technology — BrightSource Energy and eSolar.

In addition to making investments in renewable energy startups, we plan to make grants to support the research and development of enabling technologies to help the solar thermal industry achieve larger scale and lower costs. We believe that by supporting researchers and entrepreneurs taking different, ambitious approaches and risks to generate clean energy, we can help to accelerate progress and increase the collective economic value of these new clean energy industries.
