OK, so what if the tree-huggers do convince the government to mark off a bunch of Mars as a "Planetary Park". Will the Chinese respect the park boundries? India? Private organizations that say "Try and stop me- if you can get a ship over here"??
Sounds more like warm & fuzzy legislation that has no relationship to reality.
Call me crazy... [pause] I say, call me crazy, but how about a solar-rechargeable mouse? Just like those solar cordless lawn-lights. Slow trickel charge when your hand isn't on it- gotta be 90% of the day!
...or any other place that has cold weather. Hydrogen fuel cells produce water as a by-product. Water, or course, freezes at -32f. Fuel cells, especially in cars, just plain won't work then it's frozen solid.
This is another classic case of "green must be better", without thinking it through....
(To say nothing of *how* exactly do we get all this hydrogen, safely & cheaply...)

And if done in full day-time sun, gives a very cool special effect- flaming narriator!

Some of the earliest straw bale homes were built around the turn of the century
Turn of which century? 1999-2000, or 1899-1900?
(OK, OK, 2000-2001 or 1900-1901. Don't get technical on me...)
