Inhabitat's Week in Green of Auguest

Auguest had gone, and comes September,each week some friends at Inhabitat recap the week's most interesting green developments and clean tech news for Engadget -- it's the Week in Green, and each month I will collect those interesting and clan tech news for everybody. Now, let's review what are those items in last month!

Solar surpasses nuclear, sewage-fueled rockets and the world's largest turbine It was an exciting renewable energy as Inhabitat reported that solar energy has trumped nuclear power in terms of cost for the first time! We also looked at two innovative new wind turbine designs - the supermassive Aerogenerator, which at 10MW stands to be the world's largest, and the diminutive home-focused Honeywell turbine, which will be hitting store shelves next month.

Frozen energy, spray-on solar and the hydrogen peroxide helicopter Green transportation, as San Francisco broke ground on its massive green-roofed Transbay Transit Center and unveiled plans to install 5,000 EV charging stations throughout the Bay Area. We were also wowed by several fun new forms of alternative transportation - a single-person helicopter that emits nothing but water vapor and a human-powered car that can go 30 MPH while driving uphill!

Nanotech tea, pollution-sucking stones and the world's most efficient car This week we saw the shattering of a new record as NYC's high-tech One Bryant Park skyscraper achieved LEED Platinum certification, making it the world's greenest office tower. We also turned over a new high-tech paving stone that can absorb airborne pollution and visited a hyper-efficient solar city in Germany that is able to produce four times the amount of energy that it consumes.

Pedal-powered submarines and soda-powered fuel cells California saw a tremendous boost for solar power as the nation's first solar thermal plant in two decades was approved for Kern County. We also saw several incredible new approaches to generating alternative energy as researchers took crucial steps towards tapping the skies for lightning power and scientists unveiled a fuel cell battery that can be powered by soda.
