Review: Third party solar rooftop panels available for Toyota Prius--maybe Honda is planning built-in solar panels for their hybrid cars in the near future.

Review: This is great news! H2 is the way of the future for automobiles. An conventional gas car engine currently can be simplified to run on H2 for about $500 per cylinder. H2 can be produced at home, but setup costs are pretty steep currently. Good H2 tanks (that won't explode when ruptured) are also very scarce and expensive. We still have a ways to go, but imagine an automobile that actually cleans the air when it runs as H2 does (impurities are incinerated during the firing). No more polution warnings in big cities.

Review: A company called ICP Solar has already incorporated solar technology to protect car batteries from going dead with a contract with VW. The solar panel sits on the dash or suction cups to the window and plugs into the car's electrical diagnostic connector. It then sends a trickle charge to the battery when daylight hits the solar plate.

Review: With each passing day it seems that solar technology just gets better. If we were to put as much energy into advancing alternative energy technologies as we have in computer infrastructure, perhaps (but really just perhaps) we will avoid the kind of dystopic future that the peak oil crowd is peddling.

Review: If Honda is doing all these wonderful things for the environment and it earned $1.67 billion in fourth-quarter profits, why is its stock (HMC) doing so poorly, especially when compared with Toyota (TM)?

Review: How do we get to demo this technology in Puerto Rico where the sun always shines!

Review: H2-powered cars will have cooler running engines that will not have the same efficiency-decline performance graphs as engines that use any fuel requiring carbon, which leaves residue and sludge in the engine crankcase, etc. Home solar is a way to bypass the need for public infrastructure buildup, which is now holding back H2 cars.

Review: What this world needs is a combination of solar, wave (water motion), and wind power to provide electrical power, desalinisation and separation of hydrogen from sea water.
Parts of the foregoing have been achieved during the past quarter century but proved too expensive as individual projects. Google it!

Review: All this investement in green technologies by major industries bodes well for the environment. We must do all things possible to cut our dependence on Middle East oil, which in turn will turn off the funding for terror groups proliferating on oil money.
