@macto
Cool...
Low impact living is the way to go.
anone hear about Nuna II , the fastest solar-powered car on Earth; with top speeds of 170 km/h, (thanks to leading-edge technologies from ESA), and is currently on tour in Sweden and Norway.
Travelling 3010 km in 31 hours and five minutes, Nuna II won the World Solar Challenge in Australia in October 2003. The car was built and driven by students from Delft University in The Netherlands.

American Superconductor Corporation
, an electricity solutions company, that today announced that its prototype 5-megawatt (MW) High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) ship propulsion motor has been demonstrated successfully at full load, under steady state operational conditions.
