This week the news again comes from south of the big river. Yesterday evening Portland celebrated a decade of streetcars in the Rose City, with a mobile music festival of eight bands. Hey, Seattle should do that too -- except each set would be over in about 10 minutes. We have to pay for more miles of track if we're serious, Seattle.

Creative Energy!
Art has always been a great vehicle for getting people to think about important issues. So imagine your community creating public art that also generates electricity. That's the idea behind the Land Art Generator Initiative.
LAGI is an international group of artists, architects, scientists, and engineers who are partnering to create environmental art installations that produce clean electricity for the grid, as well as aesthetic beauty. The project is working in the United Arab Emirates, as part of that country's interest in moving away from a petroleum-based economy.
