It’s like something out of a James Bond movie, if Bond were more of a hippie, but it’s cool. It’s a solar-powered speedboat, completely covered in solar panels to provide power. Using just the sun, the boat can reach speeds of 30knots (35mph), a decent clip for a luxury speedboat.
It’s just a prototype right now, but as oil gets more and more expensive you can bet that boats like this one, if not this one indeed, will be making waves soon. (Ha! See what I did there? Making waves!)
I wonder if it’s possible for solar to reach a level of sophistication where cars can be rigged in a similar way. If they do, tell me where to sign to buy one! Oil prices are set to go to $200 (or $300 if war with Iran happens), which means gas at $6-$10.
I hope our friends in Silicon Valley will have some major breakthrough’s in this area, so that we can still travel around the country affordably.
