Solar Temple
The Scottish Rite Center of Oakland, CA has not only installed a solar array on its rooftop, it also displays the performance of that PV system in real time, online. As I write this, the center's meter is clocking kilowatts in reverse; that is, far more power is going to the utlility than the center is consuming. After sundown, of course, things'll change, but still ... pretty righteous. John Muir, the ol' Scotsman, would be proud.

Speaking of renewable energy...looks like the Navy is using wind turbines at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Station. Says it'll provide anywhere from 5-25% of the base's power (depending on the time of year).
