I would like to know whether any work known to bitcoin community, related to 'green mining'. As power consumption is main cost factor in mining, alternate energy sources like, solar / wind powered rigs could also be possible. Thanks.

One attempt, .... Diablo Mining Company didn't go so well.
So far, the most profitable mining has been in nations whose taxpayers provide subsidized electricity. Essentially, it is like a form of welfare for Bitcoin mining entrepreneurs.
ASICs have removed that advantage though so it never got to be that big of a deal.
Was. Power was the main cost factor in GPU mining. It no longer is with today's FGPA mining hardware, and is even less of a factor with the ASIC hardware so many are patiently waiting on. – Stephen Gornick – 2012-11-15T18:35:22.623
This question could be viable with some edits. As it stands, it's soliciting a laundry list of sources, but if it were rephrased properly it could solicit a single answer and I'd consider re-opening it. – David Perry – 2012-11-15T21:38:03.540
