Porsche Builds Photovoltaic Pylon, Offsetting Luddite Position On Self-Drive (thestack.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Porsche has just completed an impressive 25-meter high photovoltaic pylon. The construction, lonely in its current position and strongly resembling the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey, comprises 7,776 solar cells and is capable of generating up to 30,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year. From 2017 it will power the elite car manufacturer's new Berlin-Adlershof Porsche center. Porsche is keen to show a progressive stance on its new range of electric vehicles, considering that it has no intention of joining the movement towards self-driving.
Porsche's photovoltaic pylon discovered to be consuming megawatts of electricity from the grid when nobody is looking, and spewing large amounts of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere.

Gee - is that in everyday use, or only when it knows it's hooked up to a test station in a garage?
'The Economy' is a giant Ponzi scheme whose most pitiable suckers are the youngest among us and the yet-unborn.
When you plug a fourth kettle in, an ominous voice descends and tells you : YOU NEED TO CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS!
