I thought new had to be new to be new?
I am all for solar cookers (I have designed and built several of them myself), but, I am not thrilled about someone winning a $75,000 prize for an invention that has been around for several hundred years. This solar box cooker looks like the one Napoleon's troops were using in the mid 1800's. The only apparent difference is cardboard instead of wood and plexiglass instead of glass.

American Thinker: Out of Thin Air

The great promise of wind energy currently depends on huge government subsidy. As soon as the subsidy dries up, these great twirling giants will suddenly look pretty stupid when they are no longer cost-effective to build and maintain.

Further, once these wind farms clutter up a skyline, more and more people will lose interest. Solar power is even more inefficient except in a very few locations. Even in the best locations solar arrays require a lot of real estate and unless built on top of an existing structure, they destroy or certainly change the ecosystem beneath them.
