Spray-on Film Turns Windows into Solar Panels

How about this, utilizing current window space and turning it into transparent solar panels. This article is a few months old, however I found it very interesting due to its nature! They are developing a spray on film that would still allow the windows to be transparent, but would harness the sun's solar energy. Think of the amount of energy that could be contained on a single skyscraper if they were able to perfect this innovation. It would be a great source for renewable energy. Hello sunlight, good-bye coal and black smoke pollution, well maybe someday. Untill that day comes keep an eye out on this and other solar technologies like it. They are prediciting that they may have it fully developed by 2016.  Continue to let me know what you think! I'm loving the comments..... :)

"Solar Powered Smart Roads Could Zap Snow and Ice"

Don't get me wrong I love an occasional snow day, however wouldn't it be nice to be able to wake up the next morning and admire the snow from a pleasantly melted road or sidewalk. You wouldn't have to worry about slipping on ice, or experiencing the wet bootleg that happens once you finally make it inside. I personally wouldn't mind being able to go the places I would want to go without letting a few inches of snow stand in my way! This article is precisely about that. They have come up with a way to harness solar energy and use it towards melting roadways! However don't expect it to happen anytime soon.............but wouldn't it be nice, just think about it! :)
