A Canadian car that consumes no oil, no gas and runs solely on sunlight will be on display at the Canadian Residence in Hancock Park, on March 6, 2009. Marcelo Da Luz, the creator and a solar enthusiast, has driven the car's flattened sheath floating less than three feet off the ground across North America, and has set the world's distance record for a solar-powered vehicle.

The car, referred to as XOF1, will be arriving in Los Angeles, having driven over 12,500 miles using only sunshine as fuel, never being plugged into the grid, crossing the continental divide 8 times, driving on over 1200 miles of gravel roads, taking on snow, ice, and the low angle of the Northern hemisphere during the wettest summer of the past 30 years in the region. XOF1 has turned heads from Toronto to Vancouver and over the Golden Gate Bridge. Residents in one Alaska town called the police to report a UFO.

Keep ‘em coming… you all do such a great job at such Concepts… can’t tell you how much I, for one appreciate all you do!
Very creative, one of the nicer sites I have seen today. Keep up the great work.
A friendly advice: I think you should work on the formatting of your main post’s container.
Solar energy is an alternative to electricity and is most economical. The availability is unlimited. It is environmental friendly.
The incoming solar radiation is also unaffected either by the cooler layers or the warmer layers of the atmosphere.Only in the stratosphere,UV part of the solar radiation is absorbed by ozone layer and the atmosphere is comparatively warmer.
While this subject can be very touchy for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that youve added relevant and intelligent commentary here though. Thank you!
