AUSTIN POWERS
The center of the Earth is 3,959 miles away -- but where is the 
center of the sustainable Earth?  Lately, it seems like it's in 
Austin, Texas, which hosted the American Wind Energy Association 
annual conference in May and the American Solar Energy Society 
national conference in June, as well as the first International Green 
Building Conference last year.  With its booming wind energy market 
and budding competitiveness in solar power, the oil-well-studded Lone 
Star State seems to have an improbable opportunity to emerge as a 
national leader in alternative energy.  That's an exciting 
proposition for Soll Sussman, one of the organizers of the Texas 
Sustainable Energy Network and this week's Grist diarist.  Read about 
Sussman's efforts to promote renewable energies in Texas and 
elsewhere, only on the Grist Magazine website.
