Solar vehicles are weak, fragile, and can only be used in sunny weather. Or not.
(Aaron) I love technology as much as the next person, but it always drives me crazy to see an evening news snippet about a solar car demonstration in some unreasonably sunny climate, such as the interior of Australia. Invariably, these vehicles are built out of space-age materials and accompanied by a team of engineers to keep them running. This creates the impression that all solar and zero emissions vehicles are science projects for the techno-geeks – to weak to use in the real world and useless in poor weather. Here are a few videos that summarize our thoughts on the matter….enjoy.
