Ideas give me hope.
I know we have made a fine mess of things on our ONLY planet.
And yet, I am irresponsibly optimistic.
I believe in our own ingenuity.
As long as we keep that, I have HOPE.
We dug this hole.
I hope we can count on the same gumption to dig ourselves out of it.
Hope is something we have to cling on to.
Like chewing gum to a pavement.
I READ THIS TONIGHT.
(It topped up my hope jar.)
Someone has had the idea to invent a solar panel that follows the sun.
It changes positions throughout the day, so they are always collecting energy.
Because it does this, it yields 25% more energy.
And the cost of the energy is 17% less.
It got me thinking, why on earth would you do a solar panel that didn’t track the sun throughout the day?
Hmmm.
Except, currently, all solar panels are fixed.
The blinking obvious doesn’t always launch first.
