What if you could take that huge parking lot at the mall, or your local sports stadium, and turn it into one big solar energy plant? It could happen, if Kyocera has its way.
Kyocera today announced that it will hold a public dedication for its first-ever Solar Grove(TM); an array of 25 "solar trees"(TM) that converts a 186-vehicle parking lot into a 235-kilowatt solar electric generating system -- on Friday, June 24, 2005 at its North American headquarters and Kearny Mesa plant, located at 8611 Balboa Avenue in San Diego.
The Solar Grove will serve as a symbol of Kyocera's goal to make the San Diego/Tijuana region an important hub in North America's solar energy industry. Its unique concept models the life process of natural trees by converting sunlight into energy without adding carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere -- while providing structures that are both shade-producing and aesthetically pleasing.
Add to that the added bonus that parking lots are a major source of the heat island effect, and the idea gets that much better.

How realistic would it be to build a solar city in the south? I keep imagining Biloxi rebuilt as a solar city.

Vigorelle
Vigorelle is a natural, herbal cream activated by your own touch. Sometimes called “the women’s Viagra”, this product has even been described by one woman as “instant turn-on cream”! It’s true — apply it to her most intimate parts before or during lovemaking, and prepare for unbelievably intense excitement and climaxes beyond all previous boundaries.
