Hybrid cars? Tesla? Volt? electric scooters? X-Prize? biofuels? The rest look pretty good to me, but what a pity to see the worthy ideas, including our dear friends at Livable Streets, thrust into such mediocre company. Did not someone mention that we are right in the middle of a global ecological catastrophe, that serious changes are required, these changes have to start with ourselves, and that they have to kick in within the next couple of years? We really have to decide what side were on. Anyway, at least I had a chance to vote for the good guys.

A website (Great start tho'!) versus a long-standing National Policy that discourages car purchase and use, offers safe and practical alternatives, creates a world-leader in wind-power, uses trash and bio-mass to generate heat for the already-in-place central-heating systems common there (oh, wait that's too Commie for the USA), focuses on clean-shorelines, wants to ship carbon-waste from source to storage points and, and, a ton of other stuff I can't think of right now.

Treehugger is run by Planet Green which is premiering the show tonight at 9 with two back to back episodes I edited. Wa$ted doesn't really tackle livable streets so much but it does cover most of the other green bases.
