A new project in Saudi Arabi -- being spearheaded by IBM and the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) -- seeks to create a water desalination plant that runs off solar energy. The location of the project is significant, since Saudi Arabia is apparently the largest producer of desalinated water.
IBM nabs integration work as part of solar tech/smart grid test in western Australia.
IBM has won a deal with Western Australian energy provider Western Power as a systems integration and project management partner for a smart meter pilot.

The grid computing team at IBM is teaming up with researchers at Harvard University to create a solar development project on the World Community Grid. The grid project spans more than 200 countries and currently links to the processing resources of more than 1 million computers.
Last year, there was a major fight in my modest-sized north New Jersey town over whether or not there should be a cellular tower built up at the high school. Are we destined to start hearing the same sort of flack about solar panels?
Country Energy is seeking 10,000 residents to join a smart meter pilot program which aims to allow consumers to monitor energy consumption — but major obstacles stand in the way of a mass rollout.
If this blog takes the form of a news story, that's because it kinda is. In some ways this is a phenomenon I’ve been writing about for years -- the fact that headless devices like sensors and meters and intelligent appliances will start driving more traffic on the Internet than the things we normally think of as computers.
Lots of people read this green tech blog and probably nobody more closely than the big technology vendors themselves. Thus the source of this latest entry.
