Its stuff like this that gets me excited to welcome our robot conquerors.

Fake trees that harness solar power for electricity, while at the same time providing shade for you warm summer car. Also, they could be used to power cells for smart cars. Today, this concept is really hitting home for me, because its really hot. I'm smart enough not to really complain though; by this time last summer, my A/C had already been in use for a solid 5 weeks. This summer, I've used it a whopping 4 times.
Though its been the busiest summer of my life, its been a good one.
I really hope to see something like this, but I've a feeling I never will. Who knows?

I concur completely, Josh. Last year we put in our A/C on June 6th, the same day as the Roots picnic. It was almost 100 degrees that day. This year, we've barely used it all until this week, which is better for the environment and great for our PECO bill, too!
ReplyDeleteOn a completely different topic, since the semester is done, let's grab a drink somewhere in the neighborhood. I should be free most, if not all, evenings next week.
It's been the busiest summer of my life, too!
