8# Newest members of solar system: Cars. Response

It's great that they made a solar fan. Hope they make more things that relie on the sun. It would be cool if they made powered trains and airplanes, though that might be a ways away.

8# Newest members of solar system: Cars. Notes

Toyota next generation of Prius has the option of solar powered electric fan. It will be a while before we give up gas stations and run on the power of the sun. "There simply isn't enough area on the roof of the car that faces and receives the sun's rays hitting it," says Bradley Berman.

7# solar promoters push recycling as path to double green response

It's cool how already they are thinking of recycling in solar panels in Europe. I hope America is doing the same thing because it will help the enviorment. It's really good thing to know that we can recycle solar panels now too. I really enjoyed this article and I hope that I will be able to read more articles like this.

7# promoters push recycling as path to double green notes

The solar industry in Europe are recycling pieces of the solar panel as to reduce what goes into the trash. 85 percent of the solar panel is recycled. The companies voluntarily will collect the models since 1990. "We will only be able to say that solar energy has become truly sustainable when the life cycle of photovolt models is closed, allowing industrial use of recycled raw materials necessary to their manufacturing," said Jan Clyncke." That is what we mean by 'Making the photovolt industry Double Green',"said Mr. Clyncke.

I think this is a wonderful topic for you. While I agree with Mitchell that certain groups of people are making a enviornmentally safe planet almost impossible, I also think that it's an incredible goal. Through my research I've discovered that NASA is developing a hydrogen powered jet engine for use on commercial airlines. That might also be a good topic for you to branch out to if you are interested. Keep up the good work!

Alexis I thought your blog was very insiteful and had good reasons to solar energy. The only problem that I had is that the article didn't have a title to it. But, that would be easy to fix. Your blog is also very organized and easy to read.

I think it's awesome that they are making a car that runs on solar energy. I wonder how long it will take to make this car? Because this article didn't say. It's great to know that the company's are using solar energy.

Toyota Motor Corp is a leader in green technology and they are currently working on a car that only uses solar energy to power it. It may take a long time before that happens. Toyota use solar energy to power the place they work. The amount of solar energy they use is enough to power 500 homes and it equals up to 1,500 barrels of oil. It reduces 740 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

L.A. solar power and plan so that it will clearer so that people can understandwhat they are voting for. I think it is a good idea to have solar energy to provide enrergy to the city.

Department of water and Power thinks it can use solar power to help provide energy for L.A. L.A. would be able to avoid running transmissions lines across sensitive ecosystems. L.A. that plan has some questions about plans and especially to how much it will cost. There are fears about how much it will cost and will it cost much higher than anticipated. A reporter called this plan extremly risky.
