Solar luvin’…getcha some!

August 22, 2008 at 1:16 am 1 comment

Going green, however media and marketing driven it may be, is both an environmental responsibility and a financial burden. As a biology student, I’v been both amused and infuriated at the reaction of people to the wealth of information concerning global warming’s impact on our world’s biodiversity.  At best, I’v been told that, although people want to go green they just can’t handle the initial financial impact. At worst, they write it off as liberal antics.  As this video shows, solar panels can be quite expensive. But hope is on the horizon with a solar ink that, hopefully, can be printed on rolls of solar luvin’ that will not only reduce our carbon footprint but, will save the consumer some seriously needed dough in a tough economic downtime.  It seems we could be in a unique position that could pacify the economic concerns of the consumer and ecological concerns of the tree hugin’ hippies.

    Pretty cool, although I really wish they’d mention the efficiency of the printed solar panels.

    Even if they do get it down to around $0.10 per watt, I wonder how much square footage you’d need to power a normal household.
