Welcome to your new year! Before we rush into this great unknown annus, let’s pause to reflect on the wonders of 2006. Remember when George W. Bush proclaimed that the U.S. was “addicted to oil”?

We offer our picks of the best of ’06, and toss out a few predictions for ’07. Think you’ve got an inkling of what’s to come? Add your green guesses in Gristmill.
