Leveraging Parking Lot Solar Panels for EV Charging. It sounds like a utopian dream: rows of electric vehicles staying cool and charging away beneath solar panels while their owners shop, dine and conduct business. Parking lots covered with solar panels is an idea whose time has come. Can Solar Panels Produce Enough Juice?

So IEEE Spectrum is making one of its occasional forays into science fiction, with a short story by Karl Schroeder about the unexpected outcomes from building a computer out of planet Mercury. Any computation generates waste heat. This strategy would also make it easier to harvest solar energy.

metals such as mercury, cadmium, lead and hexavalent chrome) that pose a known threat to health or the environment. Eliminating water used to capture paint particulates will eliminate paint sludge as a waste byproduct, resulting in the elimination of more than 255 tons of sludge. SOCs are chemical (e.g., solvents) or materials (e.g.,

That figure does not include damages from climate change, harm to ecosystems, effects of some air pollutants such as mercury, and risks to national security, which the report examines but does not monetize. Life-cycle CO 2 emissions from nuclear, wind, biomass, and solar power appear to be negligible when compared with fossil fuels.

I love the idea of powering my car from solar power. Photovoltaic arrays belong on stationary rooftops -- which is an excellent way to drive on solar power (roof > house > car). Toyotas Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are considered "non-hazardous waste" [See "high voltage electrical systems" ].
