Circuit Logic: Pocono Raceway going solar powered?

Aug 4th 2009 8:58PM on Autoblog

assuming 12 hours of sunlight / day, 250 sunlight days a year, and 11cents / kwh

3,000 * 12 * 250 * .11 = 990,000 $/year ignoring maintenance costs.

interest on 17 million at a conservative 6% is over 1 million / year not counting compounding or budget overruns.

Its a much better investment to put your 17 million in a bank than to build solar cells.

Those power cells will never pay themselves off.

The interest on 17 million is greater than the increase in their power bill. Never mind maintenance costs and the like.

I like the idea of renewable energy, but it just does not make economic sense.

burden of proof is different for non-criminal offenses (tickets).

So effectively yes you are guilty until proven innocent once accused.

why not turbo the high rev v8 to 700+ horsepower? Bunch of 'busa mods already made that can be adapted pretty easily.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
