Gleaned since the 19th.
$3.5B invested in biofuel projects - world - Aug '09 to Aug '10.

Medvedev orders investigation into saving that oldest seed bank in Russia.
The Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) has $400M budget for 2 yrs. I think it's missing a zero.
World consumes coal, nuke, NG @ ~ 15TW/yr.

Wind to make up 88% of clean E mix in US in the next 10 yrs.
France cutting their solar feed-in tariff 15%.
Self-cleaning solar panels (from Mars missions tech) could keep power yields at 100% without labor costs of cleaning off sand/dirt every day (though, I would think after a rain the dirt spots would need a clean). Good news for desert applications.
