My number one link this week is to an article my officemate, Lesley, wrote about local beer at Vee Vee in Jamaica Plain. Jason’s going to love this…

• Vee Vee’s Dan Valachovic on local beer – Jamaica Plain Patch. I don’t think Jason’s ever tried Pretty Things. Thanks, Lesley!
• 5 Ways an Energy Audit Will Make Your Winter Better – Energy Circle. We’re doing a self-audit this weekend in order to weatherize more thoroughly.
• New “Pedal & Park” Coming To Ashmont Station – Boston Biker. Six new bike cages are going to be installed at T stations around the city.
• Noisy Wind Turbines Attract Complaints – New York Times. On the one hand, I think this is kind of like the Sun Chip bag complainers; on the other, my refrigerator has kept me up at night before…
• Are American homes more energy efficient? Not exactly – Washington Post. Via Energy Circle. This is true of cars, too: the more efficient they get, the more people drive them.
• How the military’s shift to renewable fuel could lower the entire nation’s energy costs – Slate. Military spending is so huge that it could quickly make solar panels more affordable for consumers.
• First Buyers of Nissan Leaf Get a Trunkful of Perks – New York Times. Rebates and tax credits can make the price of electric cars comparable to that of regular cars.
• Where do your eggs come from? – It’s Not Easy Being Green. All cage free eggs are not equal, so I always try to buy eggs that have the Certified Humane label.
• Hungarian Towns Begin Cleanup of Nightmarish Red Sludge – New York Times. Ewwwww! Why do people persist in thinking it’s a good idea to store toxic sludge in giant earthen pits?

In other news, my posts Touring the Casella Recycling Plant and Person-to-Person Car Sharing with RelayRides were reposted at the Cambridge Energy Alliance blog.

And, as always, if you read anything interesting this week, send it my way.
