POPSJapan Plans Solar Station in Space The next step, expected around 2020, would be to launch and test a large flexible photovoltaic structure with 10 megawatt power capacity, to be followed by a 250 megawatt prototype. JAXA says the transmission technology would be safe but concedes it would have to convince the public, which may harbour images of laser beams shooting down from the sky, roasting birds or slicing up aircraft in mid-air.

POPSSolar blimp to fly from NYC to Paris, Rests on Land or Water The folks at Turtle Airships don’t like calling their aircraft a ‘blimp’: “It is a rigid shelled, amphibious, solar powered, all weather, FAST aircraft that is lifted by helium, but it is not a blimp.” Even so, it's a blimp. Nasty memories of the Hindenburg aside, it may not be long before passengers are flying comfortably from New York to Paris– and beyond– aboard Turtle Airships.

POPSSolar Cells For Sale Liked this site because I consider myself a bit of a DIY'er . Don't quite know if I'm capable of building this but it certainly got my attention.

POPSLighting up one’s garden The greatest advantage of making use of the renewable energy of the sun is that there is no need to lay down wires or to plug anything into a complex electrical box. It’s a green solution and a convenient one. Garden lightings make use of such solar energy as all you need to do is to place the lights within the garden and the sun does the rest of the job. To work efficiently, they need as much sunlight as possible. Garden lightings have built in solar panels or photovoltaic cells that can store the sun’s energy and then use this energy to charge the internal battery of the lamp during daylight hours. This is how these garden lights manage to work so efficiently during the night.

POPSAmish are cool (*see notes) aren't they? *NOTES: 1- Unfortunately this news is old (2007) but I found it now and I found it intresting! 2- In the blogs where I found the pictures some people were feeling offended by them...
