The Prius Hearse.....
Toyota has begun production on a Prius Hearse — which will be better for the environment than traditional gas-powered hearses. Experts say it’s the perfect way to tell everyone in your funeral procession, I’m judging you from beyond the grave. - Conan O'Brien

Orange- French Telecom-Their Tent of The Future
Check out this prototype of a Solar Tent. Camping or homelessness will never be the same again!Solar Concept Tent is made of photovoltaic "fabric":
Photovoltaic Fabric
Latest research shows that by weaving specially coated solar threads into conventional fabric, revolutionary new ways of capturing the sun’s energy could soon become a reality. These radical advances mean that rather than relying upon familiar fixed panels, designers were free to conceive how a tent of flexible solar fabrics might look.
The Concept Tent’s solar shell uses this technology to full effect with three directional glides which can be moved throughout the day to maximise its solar efficiency, capturing the optimum amount of energy which can to be used throughout the tent in a variety of new and exciting ways.
French Telecom company Orange is behind this Solar Tent. Read about it HERE.

Solar Briefs.....
* San Francisco rolls out it's first Solar Powered Bus Station. They're starting out with 5 bus shelters and will be evaluating their pros and cons before continuing to build further shelters. The plan is to replace 1,100 bus stations by 2013.Features powered by solar include: WiFi, LED lighting, and The Next Muni Bus System powered by GPS.
The roof of the bus shelter sports a wavy red plastic material and pv panels.

California's Solar Power Culture Experiencing Growing Pains
When mom and pop produce more electricity from their rooftop solar array than they use, that electricity is "sold" back to the utility they are connected to. This is called "net-metering". A home with a solar array has a meter running to monitor electrical use and output. California utility companies like PG&E can only accept up to 2.5% of "their" electricity from solar energy producing homeowners.PG&E and other California utility companies are getting closer to that 2.5% quota or "Cap."
Problem: If the "cap" isn't raised, solar installations could still take place but would "drastically reduce the economic benefit" said Adam Browning, executive director of "Vote Solar." Not raising the cap could effectively shut down some companies who install rooftop solar panel systems as their business model because of fewer customers wanting installations.
Critics of solar power say raising the cap on what utilities can accept from homeowners can make the California electrical "grid" unstable. The grid will now not only have current homeowners adding power to it but many additional solar installations are coming up as well. They ask how will the grid handle all this additional power and what will be the ramifications.
The solar power industry is naturally up in arms about the state imposed cap of 2.5%. That limit may be reached this year, certainly next year says Sara Birmingham of "Solar Alliance." Solar Alliance is the sponsor of a bill that if passed would raise the cap in California to 10%.
The California State Assembly already passed the bill, but next year California's state senate votes on the issue. People who want to install solar rooftop systems and save on their energy bills had better contact their state senators and let them know what you think about this bill and the cap issue.
