Still hanging on to your Fisker Karma pre-order slip despite the decidedly sizeable boost in MSRP, up to $95,900 ? Well, we now have an idea of when you might actually have a chance of getting a car.

The month-long flooding has recently spread to Victoria, the southern Australian state that Baillieu oversees, inundating homes and devastating thousands of acres of crops.

January 19, 2011 No Comment
The event drawing the most buzz on day two of the World Future Energy Summit was certainly the Zayed Future Energy Prize award ceremony. The show was held at the preposterously opulent Emirates Palace — rumor has it that it’s the 2nd most expensive building ever built (whatever that means) — and featured speeches from luminaries like Rajendra Pachouri. This year, the $1.5 million prize was awarded to the Dutch wind power company Vestas — and Vestas immediately proceeded to give it all away. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
