very interesting all in all:) Although I think I'd prefer to put a PC in the livingroom specifically for browsing instead of doing it on a TV, no matter how large the display is. An old laptop or a tablet PC or so.
Here in the Netherlands, that solar plant would never work (real well). However, having a 7 km in diameter plastic shield out somewhere in a flat field, could potentially collect so much rainwater that it would be enough to power miniature generators! The water falling down through holes in the shield could drive small generator blades which should yield massive amounts of energy from the ever falling rain!:) I think Seattle might be the first licensee for the technology! Not to mention Asian countries!
The city of Amsterdam has had a couple of busses driving around since Dec 2003. While searching I also discovered that Barcelona, Madrid, Porto, Londen, Reykjavik, Stockholm, Luxemburg, Hamburg and Stuttgart have had these same busses. But the city of Amsterdam has found the busses so succesful that the project has been prolongued for another 2 years.:) Info (in Dutch): http://www.waterstof.info/ProjectGVB.htm
