    We have seen allot of theoretical technical innovation in solar and battery technology in the past 10 years with little new technology in production.

    In the mean time I see trucks with 40 foot long windmill blades pass by on the highway in front my office everyday. At least one renewable is being put to work.

    I seem to remember there already being a animated Clone Wars that bridged between Episode 2 and 3. It had some interesting story lines and the Awesome animation talents of Genndy Tartakovsky. It would be great if the older series made more money than this Remake.

    The big problem is if you have seperate accounts the chances of renting the same movie goes up. With Profiles if you selected a movie that is already on another profile it would warn you of duplicates.
