Maybe one day we can have international power lines where all the countries with lots of sunshine provide power to the rest of the world? How cool would that be?" The NY Times has a good article on solar power in Japan.

    I believe you meant to say "Liberate those sunny countries". Me thinks you need more time in room 101 for political education with Mr. Ashcroft.

    Put them on stationary bicycles hooked to electric generators and wire up some DEF stereo system for them to listen to.

    We would cut unemployment by 90%, crime by 50% and create electricity.

    Everyone happy.
