Solar Race Car and the Solar Highway
2 seconds apart @ 90 km/hr = 50 m
Solar Race Car averages 90 km/hr with 6 m2 solar panel
… Podcars have 50 m ÷ 3 m = 17 X more collection area than solar race cars!
17 X

3m
Knowing it can be done, let’s ramp onto the Solar Highway …

How can solar do so much?
Most of the useful energy is used to move metal…
Less than 1% of the total energy moves the driver!
Actually, fossil fuels do very little!

Council on Competitiveness
…U.S. business leaders … disagree sharply over how to encourage renewable-energy investment without imposing higher costs on consumers or businesses that depend on fossil fuels. "This is probably one of the more difficult subjects we've ever had to deal with" … said Chad Holliday, who … leads the … Council on Competitiveness, a group pushing the government to overhaul energy policy.
"Every country … wants … green jobs," Holliday said ... "If we move fast, we can get at least our share. But there's a downside. If we sit back and allow other countries to build that infrastructure . . . we're going to lose.”

"Absent a clear national commitment to renewable [energy] and to greenhouse gas limits, we will continue to see the supply chain shift overseas, and the promise of the green economy could slip away," said Ralph Izzo, president and chief executive of Public Service Enterprise Group Inc., a New Jersey utility that has invested aggressively in solar power.

African countries boycott climate change talks
“Every country needs to develop, to improve the lot of their own people, and that means we have to industrialize, and then to consume, and consumption leads to emissions,” says Mr. Alusa. The richer nations need to recognize that poorer nations will increase their emissions … and the richer nations … must bear the greater burden for switching to cleaner and more expensive energies.
