Inhabitat’s Week in Green: glowing green sea, an equinox house and energy-efficient skyscrapers

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.

Mitsubishi Electric’s EMIRAI concept goes back to the future, refuses to fly (video)

The Jetsons were a lie, people. If you want a flying car, glue a parachute to a Matchbox racer.

CEDIA 2011 odds and ends wrap up: THX, TiVo and plenty of projectors

Another CEDIA is in the books, and if you weren’t there, just know the story was — as it has been in many corners of the country — the economy.

Mitsubishi i-MiEV goes cheaper and further in Japan, scores 112 MPGe in the US of A

We’re still waiting for our first i-MiEV deliveries here in the US and in Japan they’re already prepping new variations on the tiny electric car for the 2012 model year. One, the M, goes the budget route, slashing 1.38 million yen (about $17,000) off the price of the 2011 model. It does sacrifice some range, 40km worth, to meet that price — you’ll need to plug in about every 120km (75 miles).

Toshiba SCiB to be used in Mitsubishi i-MiEV, recharge to 80 percent in just 15 minutes

Toshiba’s SCiB ( Super Charge Ion Battery ) technology has long been the source of great hope and anticipation in electronics circles, but it’s never quite delivered the world-changing retail products that its marketing promised. Hoping to correct that in a big way, the company’s now hooked up with Mitsubishi to distribute said fast-charging cells in the taxman-friendly i-MiEV (to be known as Mitsubishi i in the US) and its taxi variant, the MINICAB-MiEV.

Mitsubishi officially prices 2011 HDTVs including a 92-inch DLP and 75-inch LaserVue

Other manufacturers may say they’re living large with their latest HDTVs, but Mitsubishi’s “Go Big” slogan is supported by the biggest displays available for 2011. It’s finally revealed details on the models, with new features including a clearer screen and 16 speaker soundbar with support for a wireless subwoofer on its top of the line 840-series that includes the 92-inch model (pictured above) we saw at CES

Mitsubishi drops LCD HDTVs to focus on 73-inch and above sized displays

That we didn’t spot a successor to Mitsubishi’s well-received line of Unisen LCD HDTVs at CES 2011 should have been a signal, but now the company has made it official — it is downsizing TV operations, closing some offices and leaving the LCD TV business entirely. As the only company still selling rear projection sets to consumers, a letter from senior VP Cayce Blanchard (included after the break) indicates the plan is to focus on selling DLP and Laservue TVs in sizes above 73-inches where its flat panel competitors rarely reach

Google, Best Buy, Sony and others form alliance to defend FCC’s proposed ‘AllVid’ standard

We’ve already seen Sony, TiVo and others come out in support of the FCC’s proposed CableCard replacement, known as AllVid , but it looks like they’re now stepping up their game considerably. In a letter to FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, the group — which also includes Google, Best Buy, Mitsubishi and others — has announced that they’ve formed the “AllVid Tech Company Alliance” in a concerted effort to defend the proposed AllVid standard, and counter arguments from those opposed to it — namely, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (or NCTA ) and the cable companies that are a part of it. As you might expect, the Alliance isn’t making a lot of new arguments, but it is stating its position pretty frankly, telling the FCC that “it is essential for the Commission to break down the wall separating the home network from MVPD [or pay TV] networks – not just poke a few holes in it, or rely on progress on the peripheries.” You can find the complete letter (in PDF form) at the source link below.

New adapter from Mitsubishi brings Samsung’s old 3D-capable TVs up to spec

Although 3D as a feature didn’t become commonplace on HDTVs until 2010, Mitsubishi and Samsung have both been shipping a number of 3D-ready models for several years . However, they rely on a different input format than the one used by 3D Blu-ray movies, 3DTV broadcasts and most 3D videogames so an adapter is required to make it work, which Mitsubishi released for its own DLP TVs last year . While enthusiasts on AVSForum quickly developed workarounds to get them working with some of Samsung’s DLPs as well, those won’t be necessary now that Mitsubishi is releasing the 3DC-100S, which will work with Samsung’s TVs (only projection sets, not plasmas) right out of the box
