    How the hell can you power a tractor with solar power?

    reducing your carbon footprint?
    Hmm , I try taking my shoes off after I've walked thro a coalpit? : )

    Isnt the simple solution to plant a couple of trees?
    Or force some sci geek to stop looking at porn and develop new energy sources?
    Or bomb China to stop it building factories : )

    Until normal people have /make an imput into our technological and production agendas , all this eco shit is a bit meaningless IMO

    PS anyone looked at what garbage this so called bio diesel is?
    At the moment its all a ruse to tax our energy at higher and higher levels.Not much more unfortunately...

    so, basically, a farmer using a solar powered tractor isn't a normal person doing something handy?

    if you check the video out all the way through you will see he has it set up where he cuts his firewood with solar power(very skeptical on this concept,but hes doing it),and he has a car powered by solar as well..
    for a small farmer with disposable income its a great set up..

    anything to keep from paying what soon may be 7 dollars a gallon for fuel...

    I carefully remove all graphite residue from the soles of my shoes before I walk across damp linoleum surfaces.

    I bought a solar powered battery charger for 20 quid, it doesn't seem to work very well actually. I have no idea when the batteries are charged, and the batteries don't seem to work for very long. It was also MADE IN CHINA, which probably defeats the whole purpose of avoiding using out of the wall electricity.

    Beckner420 might not be too far wrong.
    Did anyone notice that Sauron actually had a Tesla tower in the LOrd of the Rings film?

    Actually there's numerous energy sources out there.
    Do em secretly and you might not actually get them trashed by "The Man"

    One of the main problems tho , is that you could get wackos trying to turn these energy sources for manelovent uses.
