     Due to life changing events, Climate Guy will be on hiatus for a few days.

     I think this is a good enough excuse, don't you? My son. Handsome little guy. Mom and baby are doing well. Now, this makes my mission to raise awareness and combat Climate Change even more important. I take my responsibility to leave the planet better than I found it for my little boy seriously.  You don't have to like Whitney Houston to agree that children are our future. But what kind of future they will have is up to us.

     While I am away, take a look back through some of my more popular posts from the past 10 months. You can find the links on the right hand side of this page. Be sure to leave a comment. You can also follow Climate Guy 73 by signing up on the right.

Solar Roads!

     Thanks to  Sven T.  Veital @tveital for posting this photo on Twitter yesterday. http://thkpr.gs/3657220 I like The Netherlands more and more every time I see things like this. It just makes sense. 

     Our friends in Holland seem to get it when it comes to renewables, don't they? When your home is being inundated by rising seas, I guess it raises awareness about global warming and climate change. This solar road is a first generation energy producer and it can power a house for a year. Just imagine how much better this tech will be in a few years when it can be improved upon? Who says solar energy can't power our lives right now? Oh, right, the Fossil Fuel Industry. 

     These solar roads are also easy to install because the main infrastructure is already in place. (What countries don't already have roads?) Soon, streets can be turned into power generators, providing energy for homes and businesses in the immediate vicinity. Winning! 

     Did I mention that the Netherlands is in the Northern latitudes? Think of what solar roads will do for places closer to the equator. Places like the American Southwest, Central America, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, India...

     Clean energy is a reality, one that we no longer have to wait for to make a clean energy future. And save the planet at the same time. Winning!
