World Clean Energy Awards

Climate Change

by  |  on June 18th, 2007  |  0 comments

The same folks who brought you the solar boat that crossed the Atlantic in May (see my post of May 14, Solar Boating and Green Building) have just had the inaugural "World Clean Energy Awards."  This prestigious event had worthy folks such as Amory Lovins and Nicky Gavron as jury members (both of whom have been referenced here several times at the blog) and included awards for such projects as the development of a retrofitting kit for two-stroke engines in the Philippines and the building of a solar cell assembly plant in one of Nairobi's slums, and seven other winners.  These projects are impressive.  See the whole program and the award-winning projects at the World Clean Energy Awards website.
