In case you missed checking into your favorite new green tech and investing blog (that’s us!) yesterday, here’s a quick reminder of what we covered…
• GreenSwitch: One Flick and Your Home Is Plunged Into Darkness
Great for scaring kids, confusing enemies, or saving energy
The GreenSwitch lets you control all the lights and outlets in your house through one switch. If you’re heading out for a night on the town just click the GreenSwitch on the way out.

Imagine installing that in someone’s house and not telling them. Hook the control switch to something mobile and proceed to freak them the bleep out…
• Russia’s New Vacuum Bomb Great For The Environment, Sucks For Everything Else
Personal note: Do not frack with Russia. Check out this insane video of a new bomb being developed in the Fatherland that packs the punch of a nuclear blast without the messy radiation. Awesome, the green apocalyptic mega bomb!
• The Hydrogen Holy Grail? - Florida Man Burns Saltwater

• Holy Fusion, Batman! Is that a High Powered Laser!

Ignoring, for the moment, the impact of 40,000 people traveling from all over the world to the desert of Nevada for a week of grooving to the heat, playa sand, amazing mind blowing artwork, and equally amazing and mind blowing people, this year’s Burn was a great step in the right direction.
• Energy Joule Alerts You Of High Prices, Consumption, Weather
I welcome our robotic energy monitoring overlords. The Energy Joule is a nightlight on green crack- it shows both energy consumption and weather as well as a color indicator as to how expensive energy use is at that time. Put these in every house in the country.
