    Remainders - Things We Didn't Post

    A oil tanker cargo ship owned by the NYK shipping line has been outfitted by Toyota to become a solar/diesel hybrid. Ten percent of the ships electrical demands will be run by solar power derived from the 328 cells on the ship's deck. This may be hot stuff in the shipping news, but for us, it's a bit of a letdown: It's just a proof-of-concept, meant to bring awareness to the need for alternative fuels (like we weren't aware of this). Besides, look how much of the deck isn't covered with solar cells. Chop chop, Toyota! I can see your other 90% right there. [Inhabitat]
