Intel Digging into Solar Power

All I have to say about this one is, Thank Goodness.  Now, I know it is Friday and that’s certainly a reason for a little TG, but I’m not going to add the IF to this one, this time I’m going to say, TGFI.  Thank Goodness For Intel.  Yep, you got it.

Why TGFI?  Simple, they are arguably the largest manufacturer of computer chips and products in the world, and NOW they are starting to completely divulge and share their solar aspirations.  Yay.

According to TheStreet.com, “Intel is joining the growing ranks of chipmakers with solar energy aspirations, announcing the spinoff of its key photovoltaic assets into a new standalone company Monday.Intel’s investment arm, Intel Capital, will lead a $50 million funding round in the new company, to be called SpectraWatt.”

Can you imagine, sitting down to a laptop powered by the sun?  Can you imagine infinite battery life?  Ahh, I know I’m jumping ahead and we’re not even there yet, but wow.  A guy can dream.
