SOLAR REVOLUTION PROJECT AT MIT: http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=53214
In April of this year, RenewableEnergyWorld.com reported that the Chesonis Family Foundation gave the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) a grant of US $10 million to launch the Solar Revolution project. Now, MIT researchers believe they have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.

BREAKING NEWS June 20th 2008:
You already know that, year after year, Greenpeace activists put their lives on the line to protect whales. Today, two of our activists are sitting in jail in Japan for their undercover work to expose a stolen whale meat scandal in Japan last month as part of our campaign to save the whales.
Following a four-month undercover investigation, we broke the news last month of a major scandal involving the embezzlement of whale meat from the Japanese government-subsidized Southern Ocean whaling program. Our activists handed over a box of whale meat as evidence of the whale meat smuggling operation, and the Tokyo public prosecutor agreed there was sufficient evidence of wrongdoing.
But early this morning in Japan, our Greenpeace office was raided and two of our activists were arrested. Junichi Sato, 31, and Toru Suzuki, 41, are being investigated on charges of stealing a box of whale meat that they had presented as evidence in the smuggling case.
Take Action >> Stand by Junichi and Toru by writing the Japanese Prime Minster immediately.
By Japanese law, our activists could be held without charges for up to 23 days. Our activists are innocent of any crime. They have been arrested after returning whale meat that was stolen from Japanese taxpayers and for exposing a fraud that may reach high into the Japanese government agencies that run the whaling program.
To make matters worse, rumors are flying that the prosecutor will soon announce his intent to drop the smuggling investigation, even as our activists sit in jail for exposing the truth.
On the eve of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) meetings, I hope you'll support our activists and the whales they are working to pr
otect. And I hope I can count on you again next week as the IWC meetings commence, and the Japanese government makes its annual attempt to lift the moratorium on commercial whaling.
In solidarity,
John Hocevar
