Solar powered radio in the garden.
Originally designed by British inventor Trevor Baylis to facilitate communication and education in remote parts of Africa, the radio uses solar power or can be wound up - the energy being stored in a main spring - breaking the dependence on batteries or mains power.
Crescent Dunes is a 110 megawatt solar thermal power project with 1.1 gigawatt-hours of energy storage, located near Tonopah, NV about 190 miles northwest of Las Vegas. It is the first utility-scale concentrating solar power plant with a central receiver tower and advanced molten salt energy storage technology. The project, owned by Tonopah Solar Energy, was anticipated output 500 GW·h annually.

The Punjab Energy Development Agency (PEDA) recently allocated 500 MW worth of solar PV power plants to five separate developers. All the projects were allocated at less than Rs 6.00/kWh (9.2¢/kWh), the lowest tariffs for any project allocated under the Punjab solar power policy so far.
Demanding good jobs, healthier communities, and frontline justice with 100% clean, renewable energy, hundreds of New Yorkers converged on the State Capitol on Wednesday to call on Governor Cuomo and state lawmakers to support the NYS Climate & Community Protection Act (A.10342) – the nation’s strongest climate protection bill. NY Renews, a historic group of labor, environmental, and grassroots organizations, is coming together for the first time to trailblaze a new front in the fight against climate change – pushing the climate protection debate from an environmental discussion to an economic and social justice one.

The first Women Barefoot Solar Engineers of Mauritania are installing solar panels in their villages. These African women trained for 6 months at the Barefoot College of Tilonia in Rajasthan, India. They will earn an income paid by the people in their village for maintaining the solar-powered lighting systems that they install for each house in the village.

I arrived Santa Monica a little past 7 PM and waited till people left the beach before I took a shot of this landmark. The Pacific Park Ferris Wheel has been photographed by people from all over the world and has made cameo appearances in many Hollywood movies. Unknown to me when I took this shot, the solar panels that partially block the Ferris Wheel completely power the wheel and its 160,000 LED lights. This wheel is also relatively new as the old wheel was replaced in 2008. And this new wheel costs Pacific Park a whopping $1.5 million dollars. It's so popular that around 800 people ride it every hour.
A few things about this shot~ This shot would have been better if there wasn't any structure partially blocking the wheel. And I have to admit that the timing for the red color on the wheel was by pure chance because the lights changed every second. And since this is a long exposure shot, it was impossible to predict when the wheel LED's would turn red. As I also expected, my feet got wet but I came prepared by wearing beach sandals. Thanks for the comments and faves.
Inspired by the traditional all-night concerts along India’s Ganges River, Sun to Stars evokes the traditional durbar and bethak-style concerts where performers and audiences interact in an informal setting to create an intimate artistic experience. With a backdrop defined by both natural and urban elements, the performers present work that grapples with the environment, be it through mythological folktales or a particular raga connected to nature.
The Sun to Stars festival is solar-powered by the energy collected by the photovoltaic panels on the Solar 1 roof. The event also features a market place that includes regional South Asian cuisine from local chefs, Indian style seating with floor rugs and cushions, and information about important local South Asian and environmental nonprofit organizations.
IVANPAH, CALIFORNIA, APRIL 05 2013: An aerial view of Tower 1 and its heliostats at the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility. Tower 1's heliostast installation is nearly completed, and steam blow tests are taking place.
Located in the Mojave Desert 40 miles southwest of Las Vegas, The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a solar thermal power project, currently under construction, with a planned capacity of 392 megawatts gross, enough to power approximately 140,000 houses. It will deploy 173,500 heliostat mirrors spread over approximately 3,500 acres, focusing solar energy on boilers located atop three solar power towers, generating steam to turn a conventional steam turbine. The project – owned by NRG Solar, Google and BrightSource Energy – is currently the largest solar thermal plant under construction in the world. The project is being constructed by Bechtel.

The chain link fence it not electrified. There were no insulators on it so I stuck my camera through it for some photos.

Não, você não errou de galeria e sim, eu estou usando um esmalte amarelo na foto.
Acontece que para atingirmos um objetivo, às vezes temos que fazer alguns ~sacrifícios~ e é exatamente esse o caso da foto =]
Em 2008 a China Glaze lançou uma coleção chamada Ecollection, que trazia seis esmaltes com nomes que remetiam a atos ecológicos. Logo que fiquei sabendo de sua existência (em 2010) comprei três desses seis esmaltes - os que mais tinham chamado a minha atenção - e deixei a coisa por isso mesmo. O tempo foi passando e a vontade de completar a coleção se instalou em minha cabeça e não saiu mais...
Depois de muito enrolar, finalmente completei a coleção \o/
O Solar Power é um esmalte amarelo um pouco mais fechado, é cheio de brilhinhos delicados - que nem aparecem nessa foto - que servem apenas para dar mais profundidade à cor. Se aplicado com cuidado ele cobre perfeitamente com duas camadas, pois a pigmentação é boa.
Não encontrei dificuldades para aplicar e nem para limpar, pelo menos nenhuma além do normal e com isso ele restaurou um pouco do gosto por esmaltes amarelos em mim. Não é um esmalte que eu vá usar puro, mas certamente fica bom com algum carimbo / craquelado / glitter / degradê.
Antes eu torcia bastante o nariz para esmaltes amarelos, hoje em dia torço um pouquinho menos :P
*Nos próximos dois dias colocarei as fotos dos outros dois da coleção por aqui, o Unplugged e o Hybrid
**Esta coleção ainda pode ser encontrada completa na Transdesign e existe em versão mini também
We have replaced our wind generator with a three sided solar panel "Tower of Power". It may become a new photo fixation for me. Summit Station, Greenland... top of the ice sheet HDR Aug 22 12 0056_7_tm
Mural of musician Prince unveiled at the loading entrance to the Electric Ballroom in Camden Town, London, on the first anniversary of the musicians death. The mural was sponsored by environmental group 10:10 and shows Prince surrounded by solar panels, a clean technology which he supported through his philanthropy, paying for their installation to low income groups in the U.S.
10:10 are using the mural as part of a fundraising campaign to generate money to install solar panels for community groups in the UK. Read more about their campaign here.

A large array of solar panels at the Anheuser-Busch InBev beer plant in Cartersville, Georgia. 'Green' can be good business, apparently.
Opened in 1993, the brewery sits on 1,700 acres, with a total plant floor area of 900,000 square feet. Annual capacity is 8 million barrels per year. The brewmaster (as of the date of this photo) is Sarah Schilling.

105 solar panels are installed at Littlestown Veterinary Hospital in Littlestown, PA, in mid September 2010. The Littlestown Veterinary Hospital in Littlestown, PA, received a grant from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) to have solar panels installed to help reduce their carbon footprint and to have cost effective electric power for the hospital. REAP provides grants for energy audits and renewable energy development assistance. The program also provides funds to agricultural producers and rural small business to purchase and install renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements. The expected cost savings using solar power for the hospital’s electrical needs is expected to reduce the facility’s operating expenses by 30%-40%. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

About a million years ago a friend of mine told me, if I was going to ride a recumbent I was the one that would have to make it cool, well, here I am with my two new 50 watt monochristaline solar panels packed in my trailer on my recumbent heading to my boat to make some ice with the sun... I'd say that was pretty damn cool!
