Energy links -- IT leaders, Tesla, Nuclear, Duke Energy, Construction

* HP working on solar PV, IBM putting a billion dollars into green datacenters, Intel spinning out a PV firm – nice to see the IT leaders getting behind alternate energy * DOE funds electric vehicle projects – not sure why GM, GE, Ford need DOE money – give it to startups! More interesting is the note about Tesla’s deal with Daimler, very smart. * Nuclear option gets more public support – thank goodness. The public is more rational than the politicians about energy strategy * Duke Energy jumping into residential and commercial solar installs – the wave of the future? * Green construction materials – I wonder about the 50 year life of these. I think I will let others be the beta testers.
