In the last 24 hours, Google produced 9,949 kilowatt-hours of electricity from the sun.
Google’s solar panels are up and running! In fine Google fashion, you can see how much energy the panels create each and every day. They also make it easy to understand, for example, 9,949 KW is equal to 6,215 dishwasher cycles.

Peak oil is coming, probably soon than you think. We sort of all know this, but we never really talk about it. What are we going to do when it actually happens? Will we be caught totally unawares?
A new alternate reality game (read: online story-driven community-based game) aims to make people think about this unthinkable topic. World Without Oil is being funded by a number of media companies and being produced by a team of experienced game makers. Their goal? To simulate a global oil shock, applying “collective intelligence” to the problem in advance, and create a record that can help people anticipate the future. The means to accomplish all this is player-contributed blogs, videos, etc.

If enough people speak up, maybe the force of collective truth will help prevent this crisis from ever happening again.
