Alternative Energy

Well, here’s a photo you don’t see every day.  It’s from the University of Michigan Solar Car Team blog.  At the beginning of June, the team spent a few days of practice on the actual race route in advance of next month’s North American Solar Challenge.  In the picture, you can’t see the actual car, just one of the support vehicles (the black hybrid SUV with the #2 on it).  So here’s a car powered only by the sun driving down the freeway and what’s passing on the left?  That’s a giant blade for a windmill that will soon be producing electricity.  How about that!?
