More Hip Than Hippie - Al Gore: The Man Has a Plan
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008More Hip Than Hippie #162 - Al Gore: The Man Has a Plan
Honorary Hipster Al Gore presented a bold energy plan to the world last week. Dori and Val are developing unhealthy crushes on the former Vice President /Nobel Laureate /Oscar winner /Saturday Night Live guest.
Beer and Chocolate:
Beer: Trader Jose Dark Premium Lager, imported from Mexico. Just add spicy tacos and a trip to the beach. Muy bien!
Chocolate: Trader Joe’s Concerto dark chocolate batons. OK, Val was ill and did a little one-stop shopping. Very eco-friendly, yes?
Hip News and Finds
Finds:
- Nothing to fear but fur itself! The Home Shopping Network takes a stand against animal cruelty by banning fur from the network, which reaches over 90 million US homes.
- Kentucky Fried Canadians? The notorious chicken chain throws vegans a bone by serving "unchicken" at their stores in the Great White North. Greenwashing, eh?
- Step out of the car, please. Find out if you live in one of America’s most walkable neighborhoods by visiting Walk Score. Chico? 42 out of 100. Gimme the keys.
Hip News
- Jalape-NO! The government gets a clue to the origin of the salmonella outbreak, from a single jalapeno pepper grown in Mexico. Guess that border fence isn’t working.
Teenie Weenie Greenieâ
Listener Teresa in Illinois signed her family up for a mail-order prescription program. Now they pay less and use fewer plastic pill bottles, by getting a 3-month supply every time! They also save the time, money and gas they would have spent visiting the pharmacy. Or driving across the border to Canada.
Al Gore: The Man Has a Plan
Honorary Hipster Al Gore presented a bold energy plan to the world last week. Dori and Val are developing unhealthy crushes on the former Vice President /Nobel Laureate /Oscar winner /Saturday Night Live guest.
- Allegory? Nope, Al Gore. Here’s the text of his speech at Washington’s Constitution Hall on July 17, 2008. Dori’s favorite line: "The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stones!"
- Meet the Press. Al returned to the NBC show for the first time in eight years, fielding hardball (and goofball) questions from Tom Brokaw. Watch the video and memorize his smooth answers.
- Uncle Al Wants You! Visit WeCanSolveIt.org and find out what you can do to "be the change you want to see in the world." (That’s Ghandi, not Gore.)
Listener E-mails
Holy Sizzling Sidewalks, our listeners don’t take a summer vacation from sending us emails! Keep ‘em rolling in at hip@greenfeet.com. And don’t forget to post articles, links, and bits of your brain at our MHTH forum!
- Have Camera, Will Travel. Colin and family plan an eco-video travel project across America next year, with a stop here at Hipster HQ. Visit OurRenewableNation.org to see what it’s all about. Hey guys, good luck in the US PIRG video contest!
- Spastic about Plastic! Wendy in Tampa, FL has the ookies about all the plastic on her keyboard and mouse. So we’ll give her the Bambookies instead! A UK company sells bamboo computers and accessories.
- Salmonella spawns solutions. Brian in Gallatin, TN cites a study showing fruit and veggie washes beat the bacteria. We recommend this one.
- We a-pool-ogize! Jan in Florida begs to differ about saltwater leaving rings around your pool. If that happens, she says your water’s too hard. She should know, she’s had 3 saltwater pools.
- Batter up! Elizabeth in St. Paul can’t believe somebody invented pancakes in a spray can. She’s also disturbed to find they’re USDA organic. What’s next, cheese in a spray can? Oh, wait…
- Carp diem. Seize the toes? Michelle in PA tries to gross out Dori with fish pedicures. It worked.

July 24, 2008 - Inside Renewable Energy - Web 2.0: Connecting the Renewable Energy Community
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008The renewable energy industry is leading one of the most important technological shifts in the history of mankind. In many ways the distributed, democratic nature of the envisioned renewable energy infrastructure mimics the internet; however, many businesses within the industry still have not figured out how to effectively use the internet to market their products, craft their message and build their brand.
In this podcast, we’re talking with some innovative companies and individuals about “Web 2.0” concepts and how they’re using open-intelligence platforms, social networking sites and new media to create new business opportunities and spread the message about renewable energy.
JP Ross of Sungevity.com talks about how the company’s online-only sales model will drive down the installed cost of solar.
Chris Beekhuis of Fat Spaniel Technologies tells us how the company’s new open-intelligence data monitoring system will help bring renewables to the masses.
Deep Patel of GoGreenSolar.com discusses the importance of blogging and describes how to make business contacts on social networking sites.
Joel Bush of RenewablePost.com talks about the best way for companies to approach the multi-media environment enabled by the web.
And Joel Makower of Greener World Media tells us about how the evolution of social networking and new media will make for better business networking.
Also, thanks very much to Kamla Bhatt and WediaBuzz for the audio clips of Tim O’Reilly talking about Web 2.0 concepts.
Inside Renewable Energy offers the latest in renewable energy news and information.
