We’re oohing and ahhing over these new posters created by the Energy Department’s Loan Program Office (LPO) to highlight some of the awesome clean energy projects it funded over the last seven years.

Inspired by iconic New Deal-era posters, these new images celebrate the financing of jobs and projects that supported more than 10,000 jobs and are providing American homes and businesses with clean energy.

If you like the posters enough, you can even print your own.

Fields and gentle hills. Wind turbines on the hill, silhouetted against a hazy blue sky. A very very big, very solid white cloud rises up from behind the hill.

I saw a good cloud today.

Computer Powered by Colony of Blue-Green Algae For 6 Months

[ID: two comic panels, the first of a person laying on a therapy couch, and the second of them sitting up and looking over their shoulder saying, “oh shit, for real?” end ID]

it gets even cooler, because the algae didnt stop working at 6 months, thats just when they detatched the microprocessor - it was still producing currents after that!!! the article below is an update saying that it has been running for a year now, and it might run indefinitely: “Our photosynthetic device doesn’t run down the way a battery does because it’s continually using light as the energy source.”
