[USA Today]:

Starry eyed inventor -- actually named 'Starry' -- says he's spent $1m of his own cash on new airport design. His revolutionary design aims to efficiently handle an expected huge increase in air travel and dramatically reduce air pollution.... Starry says his design would cut air pollution at a single airport 56% and save 1,000 gallons of jet fuel per flight.

Interesting, though comments like this:

'I say, with total humility, I'm the only person on the planet with simple enough solutions that will make a large enough difference in a short enough period of time to save humanity from total environmental destruction.'

probably don't help his cause very much.

[GreenBiz]: Sales of certified renewable energy grew substantially during 2002, according to a new report from the Center for Resource Solutions.... The report shows over 1.9 million megawatt-hours of certified renewable resources procured in 2002 -- a doubling over 2001.

Substantially faster than the overall rate of growth of renewable energy worldwide, reportedly ~20%.
