Unique Solar Car Visits CCSE

Tuesday, 07 April 2009 00:00

Center staff examines the Canadian-built XOF1, for power of one, a unique solar car that stopped by CCSE in April while on a record-setting, 12,500-mile trip across North America. XOF1 uses only sunshine, never plugging into the grid. At 470 pounds, it accelerates from 0 to 50 mph in 6 seconds with a top speed of 75 mph.

Notable & Quotable

“As individuals, the change can be as simple as replacing traditional light bulbs with efficient fluorescents. In our communities we should require that new buildings include lights that turn off when people leave the room. We should follow the lead of Tokyo and their energy efficient escalators that shut off when they aren't being used. There are literally thousands of things to be done, too few of which we are being asked to do.”

-- U.S. Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.)
