You should see how street furniture is damaged without need already.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/solar-powered-lamppost-mounted-wifi-wimax-router-and/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/solar-powered-lamppost-mounted-wifi-wimax-router-and/
I mean, in all honesty, even when you only consider the solar-powered streetlight, wouldn't you be more likely to need that operational at times when it would be least likely to recieve the adequate sunlight necessary to power it?

I'm as environmentally conscious as the next guy, but I am aware that photovoltaic silicon technology is expensive and the energy cost savings are often insufficient to offset the capital costs. Access to the electricity grid is inexpensive in Singapore because the island is served by a comprehensive power cable network. Under typical circumstances, it not cost effective to light up the streets (and power multiple electronic devices at the same time off the same power source) with solar energy. For the same reason, it may not be financially viable to mount solar panels atop of hundreds of streetlights to provide electricity when the option of paying for grid-supplied electricity is much cheaper.

That's Hilarious. Ah. Have you ever used broadband in London? With recent WiMAX trials, we don't need this invention here. Frankly if they want to make their money abroad, what's the big deal?]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/solar-powered-lamppost-mounted-wifi-wimax-router-and/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/solar-powered-lamppost-mounted-wifi-wimax-router-and/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/solar-powered-lamppost-mounted-wifi-wimax-router-and/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/25/solar-powered-lamppost-mounted-wifi-wimax-router-and/Dec 19th 2005 2:38AM
