Recent posts of note:
Navy and Ag Team on Energy Efficiency and Renewables
Lockheed Hot on the Cleantech Trail
Also, Quadrennial Defense Review discusses risks of climate change.

Critics: Bill Puts Solar Companies, Jobs at Risk
Arizona energy bill could hurt Chandler’s solar future
Arizona “Great Leap Backward for Solar Power” Passes Committee
