Greenpeace let JFK talk about Climate Change on YouTube
Greenpeace has launched a new video on YouTube to co-incide with their latest report “Energy [R]evolution: A Sustainable World Energy Outlook?”, produced by the European Renewable Energy Council, which provides a practical blueprint for rapidly cutting energy-related CO2.
The video features JFK arguing that “climate change threatens our very existence. Now is the time for an energy revolution.” Of course, JFK never said it, but the video went through a very good montage and a computer-generated process to achieve this.
The video can be seen at the following address:

Electricity for developing countries
Barefoot Power is starting a project to help 1 million people gain access to clean, efficient electricity in developing countries. With the recent advent of white LED lighting, which requires less than 1 watt of power to produce useful light, the entry point to electricity has suddenly changed.
Reversed Rural Electrification
Voting Summary (Elevator Pitch):
1.5 billion people spend $38 billion/yr on kerosene lighting, having no electricity. Barefoot Power will help 1 million people access modern, clean electricity, using digital LED lighting and advanced microenterprise-creation freeware.
