Solar Powered Car

solar powered cars, solar car, solar systems, angel investors, electric vehicle

A man’s solar power car captures people’s attention. Let’s face it: paying high gas prices is no longer a sign of being “cool” in modern America. The less we have to pay at the pump, the better. John Weber of Boise, Idaho is dealing with the gas crunch by not buying any more.

The car is one of only a handful of solar-powered cars in the Treasure Valley and can be charged using its solar panels, or by plugging it into a power source.

“I’m just kind of doing my own thing,” said Weber.
The soft-spoken and quiet Weber says he isn’t avoiding the pump to make a statement, he was simply sick of depending on something he couldn’t control.
“I don’t like to be dependent on big global corporations to get my needs met, I like to get my needs met locally,” said Weber.
Weber isn’t content to rely on his solar powered car alone. He’s planning on dumping it and using a bike only. Turns out high gas prices are making people innovate, after all.

For a while there, I was ready to throw my vote for Mr. John Weber of Boise, Idaho.

Don't get me wrong, I used to ride a bicycle M-W-F to the office (using only the car T-TH to bring clothes without soiling them with persperation as i travel about 40 Km one way) but dumping the solar car to use his bike is kinda lame.

I mean, he already to innovate, why surrender easily?

I mean, he already started to innovate, if he is having problems with the solar car, why surrender easily?
