Electric Car Goes 32,000 Miles on Solar Power Alone
WOW. Sorry for the rather unimaginative first word, but Wow. I just got wind of this amazing feat of engineering, ingenuity, and alternative energy genius, and I’m still stunned and wildly impressed. I can’t say it much better than the article I just read, so, here you go, get amazed with me:
“A new electric car that is solar-powered has traveled 32,000 miles through 38 countries. The vehicle gave rides to about 1,000 people and can travel up to 55 mph…”This is the first time in history that a solar-powered car has traveled all the way around the world without using a single drop of petrol.”"
Believe it. The simple fact that there are people out there, RIGHT NOW, doing things like this gives me great hope for the future. It is easy in today’s day and age to get caught up in the worry of global warming, the sour economy and all we’re Not doing to stay as green as possible, but when something like this pops up, it gives you great hope.
The fact is, if this can happen, there is No reason that the major auto companies can not be making some serious Solar Power changes and Electric Cars that can do similar things. I don’t know about you but I’m insanely jealous I wasn’t on the round-the-world voyage with them!
