Posted September 11th, 2009 in Green Tech No Comments

We were driving down a highway a few days ago and I saw an enormous blade from a windmill being carried on the back of a flatbed truck. It was an unbelievable sight to see — I’ve seen windmills before, but I was never so close to one. It made such an impression on me that I started to think about all of the technology that goes into making our world greener.

Technology is often a source of environmental problems, but it can be such an awe-inspiring thing. We’re constantly growing and inventing new things, making science-fiction stories become reality. So, in honor of all this, I’ve scoured the web to find this week’s most interesting green-tech related articles.
