Mother Nature Network: The solar-powered dream world of ‘Inception’

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

Karl Burkart posted a great story about Inception (the epic thriller by Christopher Nolan starring Leo DiCaprio) and Inception the mobile solar power story.

Says Burkart: “The mind-blowing dream sequences of “Inception” probably left you wondering how in the world the film’s producers pulled it off. But the question of how they powered such feats of cinematic megawattage may not have come to mind. The answer will surprise you … the sun!”

Zap2It: Leonardo DiCaprio plants ‘Inception’ solar movie power idea

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

From the website Zap2It: Leonardo DiCaprio posted a link on his Facebook page to an Ecorazzie item about the solar panels used on his new hit film, “Inception.”

So in essence the environmental activist actor has used the film’s thesis — that an idea is the most virulent and powerful tool — to plant the idea about the future of green movie-making.”

NY Times: Save fuel, save lives

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Nobel prize winning columnist Thomas Friedman blogged this week about the predictable results of dependence on fossil fuels and poorly insulated structures: death and destruction. (By inference, one could add that use of the military-grade Mobile Solar Microgrid, such as the one developed by Pure Power, could help reduce this threat).

Making our country more energy efficient is not some green feel-good thing. Retired Brig. Gen. Steve Anderson, who was Gen. David Petraeus’s senior logistician in Iraq, e-mailed to say that “over 1,000 Americans have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan hauling fuel to air-condition tents and buildings. If our military would simply insulate their structures, it would save billions of dollars and, more importantly, save lives of truck drivers and escorts. … And will take lots of big fuel trucks (a k a Taliban Targets) off the road, expediting the end of the conflict.”

Pure Power for Tesla

Mobile Solar Power System… Mobile Solar Power System… Mobile Solar Charging Station!

Pure Power for Tesla

We’ve been saying for a long time that there’s a natural synergy with electric or hybrid vehicles and our Mobile Solar Power System.

Last month we were proud to have provided Systems to recharge 15 Plug-In Prius(R) at a Toyota event in Orange County, California.

Here, we provided a System that’s charging Tesla’s in Seattle.

This is just one of the myriad ways users are deploying Mobile Solar Power Systems today.

Next up: the Mobile Solar Microgrid.
