Saw two interesting documentaries recently on HBO related to some of our
recent discussions.

One was "Who Killed the Electric Car?" which is just fascinating. I had no
idea this thing ever happened, but they looked pretty cool. I think they
had a winner there, which of course turns out to be the problem. Definitely
worth a rent.

The other film I think was a "made for HBO." I'm not sure, but it was
called "Too Hot Not to Handle." I was just about to turn it off after the
first half hour of depressing climate change stuff, but then the second half
switched to some really encouraging updates on the state of the various
alternatives to fossil fuels. My personal favorite was solar, and it seems
like perhaps solar technology is a lot farther along than I imagined.

Maybe some of you guys know something about solar and can tell me what you
think of this . . . one of the solar scientists said that an array of solar
panels a hundred miles square in one of our southwest deserts would fill the
electrical demands of the entire USA! I realize that's a large chunk of
desert, but if that kind of output is really possible, seems like a small
sacrifice.

Here comes the sun, doot n doo doo . . .
