I read an article somewhere that reckoned that 40 square miles of solar panels in the arizona desert (I'm from the UK so bear with me if there isn't an arizona desert) would supply all the domestic energy requirements for the USA. Sustainable enough? Get a load of windfarms up in the rockies and you're set.
Forget cars - these technologies should be put to further use in heavy industry where the greenhouse problem is most endemic. Also, if all cars were made like this, surely manufacturing costs would decrease. If all the crude oil in the world is truly set to last only 20 or so more years we need to be properly looking now at some way of replacing it, not panicing when its too late.
The side drops down and the G4 can operate without the fan blowing on the heatsink! In fact, as we all know Mac CPU's use a fraction of the power that PC CPU's use, so they heat up less. The heatsink is only on the chip so that it won't melt when you leave the case open for too long:) The upside of course is that you can open the unit, disconnect the fan and hey presto - a silent G4!

Ice caps have traditionally shied away from the tropics for some reason.
That's where M. Barrymore has disappeared off to!
