A magical meter and friendly competition help one community dial back energy use. The Island Energy Dashboard gives residents a real-time look at how much electricity they’re sucking from the grid. When Puget Sound Energy announced plans to build a new substation to meet rising electricity demand on Bainbridge Island, Wash., in 2009, it apparently didn’t know who it was dealing with.

Bainbridge is a well-to-do suburb of Seattle (a 35-minute ferry ride will drop you right in downtown), and home to more than a few techies, computer programmers, and folks who have letterhead with lots of fancy degrees in front of their names. Eric Rehm, a software-engineer-turned-marine-biologist, says that “a mosh pit of community organizations” came out to community meetings to discuss the electric company’s proposal.

“There were enough geeks there that we said, ‘Can we see the [electric grid] load data? Can we have that data in real time?’” Rather than cutting down a bunch of trees to enable the island to use more electricity, they wondered, “Can we just use less?” Index. NASA Targets ‘Climate Kids’ With New Global Warming Website. NASA, the government agency that put a man on the moon and sent robots to Mars, is turning its focus around and working on spreading information among the public about the earth’s apparent impending doom. A new agency website dubbed “Climate Kids” has “NASA’s eyes on the earth.” The website specifically targets young kids with games, movies and other interactive tools that present debated theories as facts.

For instance: Additionally, the website tells kids that dinosaurs are in their gas tanks and that polar bears are dying as a result. These are obviously two very contentious points with only one side presented. The planet is warming up fast–faster than at any time scientists know about from their studies of Earth’s entire history. This is flatly untrue. The site also tackles issues like the greenhouse effect, effects on wildlife (like the polar bear), ocean acidification, and offers kids advice to answer the question, “What can we do to help?” Good use of taxpayer dollars?
