Solar Week

I picked this up from a small shop near New Hope, PA recently.  It's a radiometer, a glass enclosed device that proved that solar energy could really work.   Basically, the black squares inside the vacuum-sealed device spin when the sun hits them.

So, speaking of solar energy, wanted to give you the heads up that this week on CBS The Early Show, I'll be sharing the latest and greatest in solar gadgets, powering devices and much more.

It all begins on TUESDAY, August 7th.   Learn about integrated solar modules for your roof.   Or a golf cart that's powered by the sun.   Even a jacket that has built in solar panels so it charges your Ipod as you walk to work.

Tune in and let me know what you think.    Let's hope it's a sunny week!

Hi Danny, the solar powered golf car sounds pretty interesting. Is there any chance for people without sky to see it?
thanks

On the Early show this morning you talked about a solar powered unit for high speed internet access. Can you tell me where I can find out more about this unit? Thanks!

Same here, you mentioned the solar powered unit for high speed internet access, but it wasn't mentioned on the Early Show's website. Please provide us with more information. BTW, thanks for showing us that solar power is actually affordable. Ok, the panels cost about the price of a mid-size car, but they don't depreciate like a car does.

Dear Danny,

Thanks for showing the world Soldius on Thursday (08/08)!

My name is Randy Eady. I live in Cologne, GE and Boca Raton, FL and represent this small company from the Netherlands (Soldius) that has been consistently raising the renewable energy consciousness in the USA and around the world for the past two years.

You may be interested to know after a successful showing @ Live Earth, we are looking at ways to carry our renewable reminder message through the Earthdance GLOBAL FESTIVAL FOR PEACE network of music and dance. Check Earthdance out @ www.earthdance.org

It's conscientious recommendations like yours that really helps spread the word!

As I put it, Soldius is a sleek compact solar charger that converts sunlight to electricity so millions of people can efficiently recharge their wireless devices (cell phones, Ipods, mp3 players) without needing rechargeable batteries or bulky backup batteries (ever).

I believe our approach to foster eco-conscious consumption is in line with yours: to create a new business model where the environment and the consumer are respected. We craft the best in Holland under strict environmental and safety codes and we try to raise enviro-social conscious (not water levels). From the design stage to consumer delivery, Soldius represents the highest standard in sustainable non-carbon energy applications that allows other earth systems to flourish.

If Soldius can be of any assistance to your Simply Green Living in the future please let us know.
Thanks for making a moment to read this.

In Peace,

Randy Eady
