Interesting things from treehugger.com

Found by cymrullewes, Treehugger posts teasers on:

• Multipurpose broad-spectrum OLED panels -- It's a window!  It's a light panel!  It's a HD TV!  The article -- or the USC researcher quoted in the article -- tosses around a claim of "100 percent efficiency out of a single, broad spectrum light source."  I'll believe THAT when I see it.
• "Zero footprint energy" in Ontario -- or, lease-to-own your own ground-source heating/cooling plant.  US power utilities would probably hate it enough to buy a Congressman or six to pass a law making it illegal.

I have a feeling that 100 percent efficiency in this case is marketer speak for 'it does everything you do with flat glasslike thingies, and is thus 100 percent product efficient'

Yeah, I have a feeling it translates to something like that.
