...cheap and it won't be easy. That's why the news on April 20 that the city of Miami was launching a $200 million smart-grid initiative that would connect virtually every home and business in Miami-Dade County by 2011 was so important. Led by the greenish utility giant Florida Power & Light (FPL) - with corporate behemoths like General Electric and Cisco and the bright startup Silver Spring Networks - the Miami smart-grid program will be by far the largest in the U.S. If it succeeds, FPL plans to invest another $500 million to roll out the service...

...None of the tech is cleaner or higher than Masdar City itself, designed by the greenish British architect Norman Foster. Beyond being completely powered by renewables - mostly rooftop solar panels - Masdar will be a car-free city. Instead, the designers will build a personal-rapid-transit (PRT) system, an automated cable-car-like network that will whiz residents around the city's streets. Planners unveiled a model of a PRT car on the summit's first day. With the sleek silhouette of a racing motorcycle, but with room for four passengers, the PRT seems to have escaped from the movie...

But the truth is that Gingrich, though he published a greenish book last year called A Contract with the Earth, doesn't really support the We Campaign's goals - a fact that was made clear this summer when he mounted a new crusade in favor of virtually limitless oil drilling. That's not exactly the fault of the We Campaign, but it does point to the real challenge...

...given day in Baghdad it's hard to envision a city on the rise amid the shattered buildings, fields of trash and pools of smelly greenish waste water baking under the sun in many neighborhoods. But a few urban planners in the Iraqi government are dreaming big nonetheless. On the drawing board are plans for overhaul and expansion of Baghdad's bridges, roads and sewage systems, plus ambitious commercial development. Planners are scouting sites around Baghdad to build a five-star hotel, an international fairground, a cultural center, a library, a park with a lake and fountains and an aquarium...

...part of a larger multimedia project, to be called Night Vision. It was while traveling with a U.N. peacekeeping force in Somalia 14 years ago that Gittoes tried on his first pair of night-vision goggles-complaining in his diary that "they turn the night into a greenish monochrome where people appear like moving negative film-it resembles early fuzzy television." Now, through his spiky but humane art, Gittoes allows us to see more clearly through the darkness...
