    Correction- No pic/link with Firefox. Yes with IE, but ugh.

    Would it be so hard to have a static picture (along with the video)? Some of us have trouble getting vids to work on our connections.

    Anyone who thinks this solar panel is "green" is fooling themselves, and just really needs to feel good no matter what.

    That panel (at 3 watts) took 100x more energy to build than it will EVER generate.

    When you grow up, you'll realize how foolish you were to fall for everything called "green" actually being environmentally sound.
