Solar panels
Here's just one example of the thousands of roof solar panels I was ragging on in yesterday's post. Very green and very unsightly.
The Statesman reported yesterday that scientists have created a cloaking material. We could save the planet AND preserve asthetics by combining solar collection with cloaking technology!
Oops. Sorry Russ but it appears that the cloaking material works by directing light AROUND the object being cloaked. It seems that would defeat the purpose of a solar collector. I thought I had a winner there.

Hi Russ,
I'm reading you posts to Fiona and she looks impressed! (I'm at home full-time now).
Keep it up! Say hi to my people if you meet any along the way...
