They are however very relevant to my topic, investigation and producing a building with lowered energy use, but are often varied and ... anyway...
I came across this game the other day, fun to play if you'd like to use up some time, called "Build a lot 4". Basically it's a more graphic and slighted varied version of the 'Sim-City' games, where you build infrastructure etc for a place or city.
The interesting thing about the latest version of 'Build A lot' (build lots of things, and build on lots of land..very clever) is that it contains several sustainable initiatives.
Wind farms can be built for power not coal plants, and solar panels for power and satilits dishes for TV can be applied to the houses, and it goes on...
I'm not saying that this is in any way adding anything substantial to the debate/cause, but I do think that it is another example of how these things are penetrating through to the mainstream.

A review from http://www.retro64.com/build-a-lot_4:_power_source_game.asp:
"The fourth version of the legendary Build-a-lot series of games is here, and this time the focus is on green energy! Help out the townsfolk by making solar towers and wind farms to produce clean power. But we wouldn't want to skimp on the essentials, of course. That's why you can also add tennis courts, swimming pools, and exclusive boutiques. It's the best Build-a-lot yet!"
