Secret of Mana on iPhone greenlit, should hit App Store tonight (Joystiq)

Dec 20th 2010 3:24PM Whoa what did they do with SOM? The water looks much different, so do the trees. Much uglier to imho. Or is that camera flair in the middle?

Eco shocker: Turbine Light concept uses wind to light highways (Engadget)

Feb 6th 2010 2:05PM The idea is good enough to let streetlights power themselves and generate extra power. The main problem will be cost of course. If they cost far more then a regular street light, this won't work. I also imagine that they would also need a lot more maintenance then regular street lights.

But if they keep testing the technology, work everything out, mass produce it and get the cost to near a normal street light, then if any streetlight gets replaced it should be a green one. Something like this will take a long time before it gets cheap and durable though, i don't expect these things to get mainspread use within the next 25 years. But after that, yeah, go green streetlights.
