June 5, 2015 evening

This evening has me wishing I got out of town this weekend. This evening is 67 degrees and clear now that it’s dark out.

The entire weekend isn’t expected to be real warm but it will be sunny. Mid 70s in the city and upper 60s in the Adirondacks.

There is still a lot of summer ahead I tell myself. I hope I’m right about that. This weekend for a lot of reasons wouldn’t have worked well for getting out of town.

That Fancy New Solar Bike Path In Amsterdam Is Utter Bullshit

That Fancy New Solar Bike Path In Amsterdam Is Utter Bullshit

Solar power makes a lot of sense on roof tops -- it helps shade and cool buildings, and puts the solar cells in a better angle for unobstructed sun. Solar roadways, in contrast, have all the disadvantages.

Solar panels are very sensitive to shade and angle to the sun -- in my personal experience with my solar panel. To say nothing of heat. I can't understand why anybody would have proposed the solar roadway idea in the first place. It just doesn't make much sense.
