Germans (willingly!) pay more for energy
 And according to this article they do it with big smiles on their faces. Lots to think about with this one and I would love to hear your thoughts.

Regular or extra crispy?
 Subscriber, Ray Frechette, shared this story with us. My first thought was that there's a downside to every method of producing energy. No way around that. My second thought was this would be a mighty fine place to raise chickens. |

Meanwhile
 The wind turbines in Nevada are batting the bats across the sky. Here's the story. Perhaps the solution to the solar-farm problem would be to ring the place with wind turbines. Hmm. |

Yeah, that's a dumb idea
 Hang on; I'm looking for other ways to save the bats. Okay, here we go! Three choices. Take your pick. The rest of the birds are still on their own, though. Let me get back to you on that.

Danish lessons
 Here's a good one (with lots of background) about the district-heating systems of Denmark and how the idea may catch on in London. I love the way the Danes route the pipes to places where heat would otherwise be wasted. They pick up that heat and add it to the heat produced by the big boilers. So smart, those Danes. |

A fossil-free Caribbean?
 Just might happen if things work out well with this. The article mentions that Icelandic brains are offering advice, and that's always a good thing to have when you're talking serious geothermal. |

Speaking of Iceland
 Check out what's probably going to blow over there, and very soon. There's nothing quite like having a huge volcano under a very substantial glacier to get your attention. If you have plans to fly to Europe in the next few weeks you may want to rethink them. |
