Toyota Prius To Get Solar Power!
Now THIS is what I’m talking about! We all know and love the Toyota Prius for how it has very effectively burrowed its way into public consciousness and helped spread the idea of alternative energy solutions for the world. It looks like they are going to take things yet another step further in the near future, and all I can say is: MORE CAR COMPANIES FOLLOW SUIT, PLEASE!
Yes, it is true that other, smaller car companies are doing very similar things with the placement of solar panels to help drive the on-board electronics, but this simple fact remains: This is the first time a major car company is including solar power in a readily available, commercially produced car. Yay. According to reports, “the solar panels would provide a portion of the two to five kilowatts needed to power the air conditioning unit. The solar panels would be supplied by Kyocera.”
The other good news is this: Toyota plans to up production to 450,000 units, which represents a drastic 60% increase in previous production, which in turn means, a 60% increase in consumer demand. That, in turn means 60% increase in people that actually Care about this! Yay again!
Not in line yet to buy one? Why?
