ThinkProgress' 13 Biggest Clean Energy Breakthroughs of 2013

Speaking of year-end round-ups, ThinkProgress also has a clean energy wrap-up that discusses a lot of cool stuff that I'm sure they posted throughout the year, but that I totally missed. The stuff that's going on with electric vehicles (powering buildings!), wind turbines (smarter and more stable!), offshore ocean wave technology actually in practice (with no detrimental effects to the environment!), and more efficient batteries for cars (safer, too!). In a year where congressional (read: GOP) intransigence cost us so much, it's nice to see that we were still able to make some gains in the fight against global warming.
