Inventing Green is the project site for a forthcoming book by Alexis Madrigal, which is due out Fall 2010 from Da Capo Books, a subsidiary of the Perseus Book Group. The site has two purposes. First, it serves as an open research platform, so you can follow his journey through the last 150 years of wind turbines, solar machines, and electric cars. He maintains a timeline, green tech history map, and resource list for himself, but figured he might as well share it with the world, or at least that tiny slice of the world that’s interested in this stuff. The site will also serve up extra information from/about the book, lectures, and previews. Second, this site will provide some more standard posts when he can provide context from the history of green technology about the energy news of the day.
