Explore A Very Green (Fake) City To Learn More About Renewable Energy
If you have ever wanted to learn more about how various renewable energy and efficiency measures can be combined to create a super green city, here is your chance. Greenpeace has created this super nifty electronic city simulator that lets you click around and find out all sorts of interesting facts about renewable energy and efficiency measure that can be integrated into a city to make it truly green.
This is the future folks, there is no one silver bullet answer to our energy problems. I instead favor a silver buckshot approach combining wind, solar, bio-mass, wave power, small scale hydro, efficiency, and life style changes. I found this little game pretty interesting, and think it is yet another fine example of how games can help us change the world.
That looks pretty cool....
| dlerious | Apr 14th, 2008That looks pretty cool.... but that kind of thing will never work in this country as long as people like Ted Kennedy stand in the way. That simulator showed a town using windmills. Ted Kennedy said about windmills, "not in my backyard." So as long as you have people like that it'll never work.
