Fight the gas prices

and I'm sorry. Just do the math.

Oh, I agree about the problems with solar panels right now. I wasn't actually referring to solar energy, at least not in the way it's typically thought of. I saw a special on TV last week (I apologize, it was late and the details are a bit fuzzy) where somewhere in Europe (Spain was it?) they built a large array of mirrors to reflect the sunlight onto one focal point at the top of a large tower. If I recall correctly it was the direct heat used to boil water into steam, producing energy via a turbine. It's possible it was solar panels, but I doubt it.

Cheers,

PS. Now that I'm not a student and don't have papers to do, I end up reading/watching tid bits of information. On NASA TV they were talking about advances in Solar Panels. That the ones used on Spirit and Sojourner were 30-40% efficient, which was a large contributing factor to their longer-than-expected use. Beyond that I'm afraid I don't know much. And I certainly know you have a stronger chemical/physics background for understanding the actual workings than I do. So take it as you may.
