Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week's most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us -- it's the Week in Green. The newswires were buzzing with alternative energy developments this week as Inhabitat reported that Apple filed a patent for a
hydrogen fuel cell-powered laptop that can last an entire week without needing a recharge. We also celebrated the warm winter holidays with a look at the
world's first solar-powered menorah, GE unveiled an awesome set of
3D-printed Christmas tree ornaments, and we brought you a first look at the dazzling LED-studded 2012
Times Square new year's eve ball. We also showcased several amazing examples of paper technology as Sony flipped the switch on a
paper-powered battery and Joon & Jung unveiled an
alarm clock with a cute paper shell.
Eco transportation was a hot topic as well this week as Porsche unveiled plans to develop the third generation of its flywheel-boosted
911 GT3 R hybrid and the UK's new
hybrid double-decker busses hit the streets of London. We also showcased plans for a
greenery-filled AirTrain that harnesses Nasa-patented air purifying technology and we brought you Foster + Partner's plans for a striking new
high-speed rail station in Galicia, Spain.
In other news, this week we saw Waterstudio launch plans for a floating
Sea Tree skyscraper that provides habitat for flora & fauna, a scientist has
