The future?


Interesting little piece about using solar panels on planes to lower fuel costs. This is the type of innovation that we need if we're going to break the strangle hold oil has over the airline industry, our economy and our lives. The sad thing is, we could have been developing innovations like this decades ago if folks had the political will to do it. Sad that it takes an economic crisis to make us realize that we have to look beyond our reliance on a fuel source that will some day run out.
