Solar Powered


The Ruhr (area in Germany) is very progressive with renewable energy. This is a local solar panal factory. Today we went to an exhibit that explained all the different projects going on in the area....they have a couple biodiesel plants, there are wind farms with turbines, there are numerous offices and homes with solar panals on the roof, and also they have these cool solar collectors that heat water to use in the shower, or even heat the house. The technology is very creative. Markus is super excited about renewable energy. So far we've come up with many ideas about how to use this technology. It's fun stuff.
