This week has been filled with worthwhile news from every clean energy sector. 

The sporting specatcle that is 2010 Winter Olympics is now being played out in full force.  The games, however, are not just providing athletic highlights, but they are also serving as a fantastic platform for the promotion of renewable energy. 

Big winds were blowing, fast wheels were spinning, and good grades were flowing for renewable energy this week.

News from America captured most of the headlines this week.  In particular, minds across the globe were fixated on President Obama's State of the Union address and Macintosh's unveiling of the très chique iPad.  Both of these events had clean energy implications, as you will soon find out.

Another week has come and gone.  And, what a week it was.  Some may say renewable energies and technologies are expensive, insignificant, or a waste of money.  However, no one can ever claim renewable energies are not exciting.  Once again this week was littered with unusual, spectacular, wildly creative, and downright crazy inventions and ideas for generating clean energy.&

Renewable technologies and energy is penetrating society at all levels. 

For instance, this week EnergyBoom reported about companies that are producing carbon negative cement, electric motorcycles, biofuel generated from algae-eating fish.  At the same time EnergyBoom highlighted efforts by governments and organizations to promote clean technology and green jobs. 

How much do you know about Rutabagas, the Hecate Strait, Taiwan, the smart charging system, or "green" beer? 

We're betting you are going to know a lot more about all these things and how they fit into renewable energy after you see what EnergyBoom has been upto this week.

So, let's jump right in.

This week watermelon and cassava left the dining room table and entered the fuel tank; Scotland gave word that the Isle of Islay will soon be generating all its electricity from tidal energy sources; Nissan announced it will be manufacturing an affordable electric vehicle; and a portable geothermal power generator was designed by an Alaskan resort owner.

This week was Global Climate Week, and EnergyBoom fully participated.
