Anyone believe that these people actually have a solar-powered van?

Armed with solar panels, rechargeable batteries, specially designed gizmo guitars and a unique drum kit, they are no cyborgs from the future, but the world’s only solar-powered music band, Solar Punch. They play songs of “peaceful activism” to spread environment awareness.

The band keeps back-up resources for bad weather as well.

“In some parts of the world, we don’t get ample sunlight; so if we strategise, we absorb as much sunshine as possible. We have an overall large battery that we try to keep charged and each of our amplifiers has rechargeable batteries in them,” he said.

Solar Punch was in India and collaborated with the Indian Youth Climate Network (IYCN) as part of the 2009 Climate Solutions Road Tour. The tour kicked off Jan 2 in Chennai and ended in the capital Feb 5 after traversing through cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai in three electric cars, a van powered by solar energy, another van running on waste vegetable oil and a truck running on biofuel.

GORE LIED: Video: New Grammy in hand, Al Gore is going to make more room in his trophy room...

An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore has won the 2009 GRAMMY Award for Best Spoken Word Album.

We studied art, not science: Flooded McDonald's, South London Gallery, London - Reviews, Art - The Independent

...For 20 closely-observed minutes, the collective's pretend McDonald's slowly fills with water, thus presumably conflating environmental cause and effect. (Numberless herds of eructating beef cattle = methane = holes in the ozone layer = global warming = rising sea levels.) The overall feel is of apocalypse, or rather of faux-apocalypse: never for a second in Flooded McDonald's do we lose sight of the fact that the film is a film. The slow panning shots and hand-held close-ups are straight out of a media studies textbook – they will be instantly familiar to anyone who has seen The Poseidon Adventure or Jaws or The Day After Tomorrow as the traditional vocabulary of disaster movies. You half expect Shelley Winters to appear singing Nearer, My God to Thee, or a fin to cut the surface of the increasingly scummy water.
