But according to a number of urban myths, the growing fleet of hybrids is actually an evil force ready to inflict great harm to people with pacemakers, blind people, and anybody who dares to sit behind the wheel of a Toyota Prius. Here are the top five safety dangers supposedly posed by hybrids. http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/green_articles/hybrid_article_05152008.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 Women know a dab of lipstick can brighten up a face that may have worked too many late hours or kept an active toddler entertained all day, but could this quick fix be harming our health? http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/green_articles/lipstick_102007A.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 President Obama's chief climate-change negotiator said Sunday that the United States would be "powerfully, fervently engaged" in global talks to reduce carbon emissions but warned that a difficult path lay ahead. http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/what_govt_doing/climate_envoy_03302009.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 The Obama administration reversed years of U.S. policy Monday by calling for a treaty to cut mercury pollution, which it described as the world's gravest chemical problem. Some 6,000 tons of mercury enter the environment each year, about a third generated by power stations and coal fires. Much settles into the oceans, where it enters the food chain and is concentrated in predatory fish like tuna. http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/what_govt_doing/obama_mercury_02172009.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 Almost everyone has seen the ENERGY STAR label on products in the market place - it’s on computers, light bulbs, appliances and many other common household products.

When Nevada enacted a 1997 mandate requiring the state's electric utilities to weave renewable energy into their tapestry of power sources, it seemed like an easy goal to meet in a state blessed with sunlight and geothermal hot spots. http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/nevada_news/04172009A.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 In Las Vegas, water used indoors travels a continuous loop. From homes, water flows to a treatment plant, which sends it back to Lake Mead. Then an equivalent amount is pumped from the lake, and the 12-mile journey to treatment plants and Southern Nevada’s taps begins again. The Southern Nevada Water Authority wants that system preserved because it allows Las Vegas to consume more than its annual 300,000-acre-foot allotment from the Colorado River. Water returned to the lake converts to credits that the Water Authority can use to pump more water from the lake. http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/nevada_news/04132009A.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 Years from now, when Nevadans wonder why their state and others abandoned coal plants in favor of renewable energy, they are likely to remember these days. Washington is moving aggressively if sometimes in unseen ways to remake the nation’s energy landscape. Intricate pieces of legislation are unfolding on Capitol Hill that would radically alter the nation’s energy policy, one bill at a time. http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/nevada_news/03082009A.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 NV Energy on Monday announced that it is postponing development of a $5 billion coal-fired power plant at Ely until technology for capturing and storing carbon dioxide pollution becomes commercially feasible, probably for 10 years or more... http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/nevada_news/02102009A.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 A poll shows Nevadans of all political stripes favor renewable energy, which prompted a business and technology spokesman to say the state is in a good spot to become a green makeover mecca. http://www.lasvegasgreenlist.com/sections/nevada_news/12152008A.aspx Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 +0000 This month we are talking to ANNETTE BUBAK, President of Nevada Energy Star Partners®.
