“When draught hits your country, some suffer economic ruin. Others, build solar power cars and race them.” J/k. Seriously 64mph is not at all bad, i’m surprised.

“Dude, because it’s not broadly implemented, it’s not a valid alternative?”

No, the other way around. The reason it is not broadly implemented is because it isn’t a valid alternative. Money talks, and in this case it ain’t sayin nothin.

Solar and wind cannot generate either reliable or high enough levels of power to become an alternate source for energy. Even if the elements could provide this, they’re just too damn expensive to compete.

In fact, there’s a reason why Perth is such a good place for the gravity wave detector… nothing ever happens here to disturb it!

I’m in Perth.

All the interesting sh1t happens over East.. even the dessert, but not here.

Anyone seen the old school movie Race the Sun? It wasn’t epic or anything, but I thought it was pretty cool. It took place in Australia also, though I don’t know if the movie was based off this race.

# 26 They aren’t stupid, with the current drought in southern Australia – and the fact that most of the route is through desert anyway – the chances of rain are zip! {if it did rain the road would probably disappear!]
Don’t have a problem with Adelaide’s position (if you take the bottom white dot to be Adelaide) but Port Agutta has drifted a bit (it is actually on Spencer Gulf, ie on the coast at the top of the cut-in bit nearest the label)
I actually live in Adelaide so i think I am probably correct – not that it matters. Good luck to all the racers including the various school teams from Adelaide.

@NeoCon
i second your thought.

well, cars that are good for the environment are fuking ugly. Maybe they should make one that looks fukin cool and ill buy it.

Dude, because it’s not broadly implemented, it’s not a valid alternative? Do you have any idea how long electric cars are on this world? For 50 years now, and now, just now, they decided its a pretty good idea, a car not running on fossil fuels.

If solar enery was indeed a valid alternative for fosil fuels, it would have been broadly implemented by now. But it isn’t a valid alternative, and neither is wind energy. I guess holding token solar races is one way of denying that fact, but in the end a race like this is just useless polution (all those people travel by plane).

I hope it rains heavily there.

Then they will realize that its not solar thats more important but wind sun and waves or tides energy storing that we should be focusing on.
