The Greenness of Electric Aircraft
OK, so there is no doubt that electric aircraft are way cool. But a lot of people make big claims about how ‘green’ an electric vehicle can be. I suppose that is true if you just look at the electrons poured into your batteries vs. the gasoline the fossil-fuel burner pours into his fuel tank. ...

The same site offers a way to push METAR reports on a Twitter account.
