RECYCLE FOR SOLAR

HANK GREEN, KAYAKAS - Daniel Strohl painted some aluminum cans black,
drilled some holes in the cans, stacked them, and then put them in a box
and, voila, air coming out of the box was fifteen degrees warmer than
air going into the box. He then pumped the warm air directly into his
garage. And with just a little bit more work, this exact same design
could be a passive water heater.
We tend to think of solar power as a high investment advanced
technology, but when it comes to heat, that's something the sun does
awfully well all on it's own.

900 ACRE SOLAR FARM PLANNED FOR CANADA

STAR CANADA - Optisolar, a California manufacturer of thin-film silicon
solar cells, is building the world's largest solar farm in Sarnia,
Ontario. (just north of Detroit) formerly famous for its pollution. Now
40 megawatts will be generated from a huge farm of over 900 acres.
Currently the biggest farm in the world is the Erlasee 12 megawatt farm
in Germany.

Ontario is proposing a solar farm similar to this one Amstein, Germany.
The Ontario plant will be able to supply enough electricity to power up
to 15,000 homes on sunny days. . .
