I know we’ve got a lot of long-term readers here on CleanTechnica. Can any of you guess some of our top 10 most-viewed pieces of 2011?

OK, enough foreplay, here’s our Top 10 of 2011 list (based on pageviews):
- How Google is Making the Climate War Worse (Note that Google is a clear clean energy leader)
- High-Efficiency Solar Cells Getting More Efficient, Cheaper
- Award-Winning Inventor Makes Fuel from Plastic Bags
- U.S. Department of Energy Announces New Biofuel to Replace Gasoline
- 3D Solar Panels from MIT
- Wind Lens Triples Turbine Output
- About Wind Energy / Why Wind Energy
- Pull-Out Solar Power in a Handy Carrying Case
- Finally! A Low Cost Solar Panel that Can See in the Dark

If you missed any of those pieces, you might want to take a look at them — I think they’re all still worth a read.
