the rainbow road

The rainbow road

is a forever dream

that i have always dreamt

in the countless sleepless nights

I always wake up in hope to find it

down the hilly dirty road

over the next mountain ridge

and below

I am willing to go

as far as the Northern Pole

And I hum --

Ah, the rainbow road,

take me to the rainbow's row

and let the good times roll

before the days grow old...

and our souls are tolled...

new hope

finally, a new hope and real possibility came from a foreign land... who says it's impossible or impractical??!!


World's largest solar power plant

Germany isn't the sunniest of countries, but it is a hotbed of solar power. And now it's home to what the companies involved are calling the world's largest solar electric power plant. On Friday, Silicon Valley-based SunPower marked the dedication of the Gut Erlasee Solar Park, a 12-megawatt facility located amid cropland near the Bavarian town of Arnstein. SunPower's solar cells are used in about one-third of the "mover" panels--from German solar technology company Solon--that tilt and rotate to stay facing the sun throughout the day.
