Perhaps one of the most popular myths about the use of solar energy is that on days when the weather is stormy or there is not much sunshine, that anyone who relies solely on solar power will simply have to shut down operations and make do. Fortunately, this is not the case for several reasons.

The Corgi H2GO radio controlled fuel cell toy car has been unveiled that uses water and sunlight to provide power and zero emissions.

Boehm explains the ups and downs oftrying to implement alternative energy as a primary source of power. He also shows us some of the technology (includingsunlight captured through fiber optics for lighting!) that they're testing at the Center.
