Solar Impulse, a solar aircraft just landed at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. Hurray!
Today we went to San Francisco to watch the aircraft fly over the Golden Gate Bridge. We had a nice picnic a Crissy Field. Solar Impulse was flying quite high, this is a tele-zoom shot.
Founders Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg want us to use more clean energies. Or in their word, push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!
The aircraft has a wingspan bigger than a Boeing 747, but weights just 2 tons instead of 400 tons. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

Two views of one of the interesting technological sights as you head closer to Port Augusta. This is Sundrop Farm - consisting of this amazing 127 metre tall solar collector tower, combined with 24,000 mirrors aiming the plentiful sunlight at the collector. It produces electricity to provide power for desalination of the salt water from the nearby Spencer Gulf and provide heat and cooling to the 200,000 square metres of greenhouses, all of which help produce a continuous and sustainable supply of food. I believe, if you have eaten truss tomatoes purchased from Coles supermarkets, there is a good chance that they were grown right here. There is some great information and video of this amazing place on the Sundrop Farm website if you are keen to learn more. I was suitably amazed.

Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland to circle the globe, took off this early morning at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
Founders and pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg first addressed the press. André climbed into the cockpit for this leg to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight will take 16 hours. I had a big tripod with me and could blend in with the press to get a prime spot for takeoff. Preparations were long, but the actual takeoff happened very quiet and sudden. I took this shot a few minutes before take-off at 5am in the morning.
Bertrand and André want us to use more clean energies. In their word, they want to push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!
The aircraft has a wingspan bigger than a Boeing 747, but weights just 2 tons instead of 400 tons. To preserve weight and aerodynamics, this aircraft has no landing gears on the side. People hold the aircraft level on long poles until it gains enough speed. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

The Thams Family Park on the Broadwater and the Gold Coast Hwy at Southport... is the first stage of the Southport Broadwater Parklands Re-Development that is sandwiched between the Broadwater and the Gold Coast Highway, has just undergone a transformation... The most interesting part of this transformation is that this park has been made energy self sufficient... harnessing the energy of the sun by means of array's of Photo-Voltaic Cells... This is the right step forward... an absolutely essential step in our battle with global warming... The widespread use of Photo-Voltaic Cells, is one of the best ways of generating electricity without producing extra heat in the process.
If we are to come to terms with... and indeed survive global warming... we must urgently phase-out all means of generating electricity that requires HEAT to generate the electricity... Only Photo-Voltaic Cells, Hydro, Wind, Wave and Tidal meets this absolutely essential requirement of generating electricity.
We congratulate the Gold Coast City Council and Mayor Ron Clarke for the foresight and leadership that they have shown in bringing this project to fruition... Hopefully, this is one of many more to come... to prove Photo-Voltaic Cell technology and make it ubiquitous... applied to every building and structure on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia... and the rest of the World...
The widespread use of this solar technology can enable us to generate five times as much energy as is currently used (all sources combined)... This energy will enable us to produce and deliver the water needed to re-establish all the vegetation that has been lost due to Man's ignorance... The vegetation that nature NEEDS to regulate Earth's temperature and climate... To store the excess solar energy, that is now heating the Earth, due to a lack of vegetation... To store the excess solar energy through photosynthesis... as nature has done in the past... Photosynthesis that produced all the stored solar energy, that we call FOSSIL FUEL'S... Fossil fuels that are NO LONGER being produced... Because, Man in his lack of wisdom, stripped the Earth of the vegetation and conditions that produced these fossil fuels -- STORED SOLAR ENERGY !!!
I am very interested in your feedback... So, please add your comments below !!

Last month we stayed in Tonopah, Nevada. North-west of the town is a 110 megawatt solar thermal power plant called Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. It will start operating later this year and will provide power for 75,000 homes. The anticipated to cost is a bit less than $1 billion. At the bottom you see the reflection on the panels that mirror the sunlight to a large tower to heat liquid salt, which is used to generate electricity.
This solar power plant can operate 24/7 - hot salt in a big tank stores energy for use at night. A truly large-scale project. An overview video describes this.
This photo shows the reflectors called heliostats. There are 17,500 of them, each has 62.4 m² (670 square feet) of mirrors.
Explanation on using "nay" and "yea" in the title, based on Wikipedia article: "While Modern English has a two-form system of yes and no for affirmatives and negatives, earlier forms of English had a four-form system, comprising the words yea, nay, yes, and no. In essence, yes and no were the responses to a question posed in the negative, whereas yea and nay were the responses to positively framed questions."

On Saturday we went to San Francisco to watch the aircraft fly over the Golden Gate Bridge. We had a nice picnic a Crissy Field. Solar Impulse was flying quite high, a red helicopter was circling it to take photos. The solar aircraft landed at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California.
Founders Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg want us to use more clean energies. Or in their word, push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!

The sun sets over the hills of Bantay and Pagudpud, rural towns on the northern most part of Luzon Island, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The country invested a lot of money to harness the wind and sunshine that is ubiquitos in this part of the Philippines. This is the last in a series of shots taken at this location.
By making alterative energy sources affordable and profitable, everyone will win. It is worth the effort and a global agreement to save the only planet in the galaxy known to support human life. The Sun and Wind Turbines. Solar and Wind powers are captured along the coast of Bantay and Pagudpud, Philippines in Ilocos Norte province where sunshine and ocean winds are plentiful all year round.

Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland to fly around the world on solar fuel only, took off on May 2nd early morning at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
I took this shot when approaching the white inflatable hangar seen on the right. The hangar is double-walled, and is held up by air pressure inside the walls. The fabric is 97% transparent so that the solar cells on the aircraft can operate and charge the batteries while the aircraft is parked. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

What could be better'n sitting in an Adirondack Chair watching a solar powered tourist boat go by in the harbour in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Well, how about sitting with a friend and watching a solar powered tourist boat go by in the harbour in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island? Yeah, I figured that since I don't actually have any friends, I didn't wanna sit there all by myself. 'Cause then people would just walk by and say, "Look at that sad guy sitting all by himself waiting for a friend who's never gonna arrive." I hate it when that happens. Just kidding. There was nobody else there to see me. lol I needed an explanation for why the chairs were empty.
You wait. When I open up my stock image agency, I'll sell this image over and over to illustrate solar power. All the power lines and TV towers help.
Urban Light is a 2008 large-scale assemblage sculpture by Chris Burden that stands in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The installation consists of 202 restored street lamps from the 1920s and 1930s. Most of them once lit the streets of Southern California.
The cast iron street lamps are of 17 styles, which vary depending on the municipality that commissioned them. They range from about 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters), are painted a uniform grey and placed, forest-like, in a near grid. The lights are solar powered and switched on at dusk. Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Susan Freudenheim described the restored lamps as displaying "elaborate floral and geometric patterns" at the base, with "fluted shafts and glass globes that cap them...meticulously cleaned, painted and refurbished to create an exuberant glow.
