I went out to the fifth annual Renewable Roundup
festival this weekend.

This year, the Roundup featured wind-powered beer.
I can recommend the following.

Back in the sixteenth century, they ground their grain
with wind and they weren't doing it just to be
clean and elegant.
This handsome toy is a solar-powered hydrogen-cracking fuel cell.
Now that Florida has been scourged by four hurricanes,
there are probably any number of Floridians off the grid
who wish they had one of these. A really big one.
Of course, it would have to be a hundred times bigger
to be of any use.
But if the solar panel industry were a hundred times
bigger, the volume of production would make
solar panels cheap. Cheap enough to do
something useful in sunny Florida, anyhow.
