Capitol Hill Green Building, Ford's Plug-in Hybrid, SCU's Solar Home + Putting Buildings on an Energy Diet (WIR)

- Congress celebrates first green building on Capitol Hill with one building being renovated to LEED Silver level certification and saving energy by about 48%.
- Ford Motor Company and Southern California Edison join together to make plug-in hybrid technology a reality.
- Santa Clara University was chosen by US Department of Energy to design, construct, and display a fully functional, 650 sf solar powered home.
- The Cost of Saving Energy - New Yorkers are working on energy consumption, but some buildings need to go on an energy diet.

PS - I changed the design of the intro-banner for WIR. I'm thinking of using a technique like this to create a new banner for the entire blog. Let me know what you think, if you notice it...
