- Dan said: William Kamkwamba's life changed when he borrowed a textbook titled "Using Energy" from a library in the African nation of Malawi, at age 14. The book inspired him to create a windmill from scrap materials like plastic pipes, discarded fans and a broken bicycle. Eventually, he transformed it into a functional wind turbine, bringing much needed electricity to his impoverished community! Thanks to Ode reader Bobby Murshid for the link!

- Dan said: The Victoria–based advocacy group Beyond Zero Emissions is optimistic about renewable energy in Australia. In a report set to be released later this year, they claim that the country can use solar and wind power to produce all percent of its electricity in just 10 years. "We have concluded that there are no technological impediments to transforming Australia’s stationary energy sector to zero emissions over the next 10 years," says Matthew Wright, the company's executive director.

- Tony said: Former Vice President Al Gore had been conspicuously absent from the public eye recently. Following on the failure of the Copenhagen climate summit and new revelations of errors in key climate science reports, the Nobel Laureate was nowhere to be found. On Sunday he returned with an op-ed in the New York Times discussing the ‘attacks’ on the manmade climate change theory.

- Dan said: Environmentalist Bill McKibben strikes back at the bad science, crooked politics and corporate funding that fuels the current skepticism about climate change: "The great irony is that the climate skeptics have prospered by insisting that their opponents are radicals. In fact, those who work to prevent global warming are deeply conservative, insistent that we should leave the world in something like the shape we found it. We want our kids to know the world we knew. Here’s the definition of radical: doubling the carbon content of the atmosphere because you’re not completely convinced it will be a disaster. We want to remove every possible doubt before we convict in the courtroom, because an innocent man in a jail cell is a scandal, but outside of it we should act more conservatively."
