"It's an intensely Darwinian environment for small-scale solar," says Arno Harris, the CEO of Recurrent Energy, a San Francisco solar project developer. (See the top 10 green ideas...

...Engineering Sciences 147: “Idea Translation: Effecting Change through the Arts and Sciences,” had a final project that took them beyond the classroom. The team members, who are current Harvard students and recent graduates, are looking to implement off-the-grid energy technology that uses the microbial fuel cells in dirt to produce cost-efficient energy that can be brought to the rural and un-powered areas of Africa. David A. Edwards, the course’s professor, originally assigned a project to artistically light London for the 2012 Olympics. But because of roots...
