While Stewart sees the realities of our water sitch as a bit of a revelation, Glennon points out what many have known for a while: all of the water used in our homes is potable, but only ten percent is used for drinking and cooking. Just take a guess where the rest of it goes...]]> http://susty.com/daily-show-water-crisis-book-unquenchable-author-robert-glennon-video/feed/ 0 Google Global Warming Fight: Data Center Uses No Chillers http://susty.com/google-global-warming-fight-data-center-no-chillers/ http://susty.com/google-global-warming-fight-data-center-no-chillers/#comments Sat, 18 Jul 2009 03:39:11 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=7103 Data Center Knowledge explains that the chillers used to refrigerate water to cool data centers require, unsurprisingly, a large amount of electricity to operate. The quest for cost-effective energy via efficiency has led to a practice known as “free cooling:” air from outside the data center is used when the temperature is cool, while falling back on chillers on warmer days. Google takes this strategy to the next level eliminating chillers altogether in its data center near Saint-Ghislain, Belgium. Bonus feature is an on-site water purification facility that allows it to use water from a nearby industrial canal rather than a municipal water utility. Google anticipates free cooling at the facility for about seven days per year, but what's really fascinating is what happens when the weather gets hot.]]> http://susty.com/google-global-warming-fight-data-center-no-chillers/feed/ 0 Green Economy Under Construction: State Department Action PHOTO GALLERY http://susty.com/green-economy-under-construction-state-department-action-photo-gallery/ http://susty.com/green-economy-under-construction-state-department-action-photo-gallery/#comments Tue, 28 Apr 2009 05:53:04 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=6118 the State Department yesterday, the goings on in the photos sure do make us wish we could have stopped by, perhaps even with cool-o wind turbine effigy in hand. in addition to the good time had by the approx 150 people involved in the action, the organizers handed out quotes by people from around the world about their local green economy to Jonathan Pershing's (Deputy Special Envoy for Climate Change) assistant.

We're happy to see that the Financial Times has made benefit from and linked in to our transcript of the recent conference call about the Coen Brothers' faux commercial for clean coal:
The problem with the debate is that neither side is clear about what they mean when they say “clean coal”. (Although a conference call from Reality Coalition explaining the ad does go a little way into the details.)
In our view, however, the FT.com post is on a quest for too much information.]]> http://susty.com/financial-times-links-susty-clean-coal-tmi-devil-not-in-details/feed/ 0 Coen Bros Clean Coal Media Coverage Contest: Top 10 List, and the winners is… VIDEO http://susty.com/coen-clean-coal-media-coverage-contest-top-10-list-winners-video/ http://susty.com/coen-clean-coal-media-coverage-contest-top-10-list-winners-video/#comments Tue, 03 Mar 2009 07:50:46 +0000 by George Spyros, New York City, USA http://susty.com/?p=4417 The Reality Campaign via the Coen Brothers deployed a corrective on coal industry practice, specifically, a salvo in the form of a satirical commercial aimed at countering the "clean coal" misinformation junket that's been promulgated for some time now. As the gloves came off in this battle of the marketing campaigns dueling for the minds, and one would now argue hearts, of the American people, a conference call brought together journalists and bloggers (transcript) to hear from Reality Coalition Spokesman Brian Hardwick and Sierra Club National Coal Campaign Director Bruce Nilles.
