Drive through and create power

Reuters video reports on a New Jersey fast food drive-thru that is helping to test an energy capturing prototype.

New Energy Technologies Inc. is testing a new kinetic energy capturing device that looks like a speed bump at a Hillside, New Jersey Burger King. When cars slow down to go over the Motion Power bump, energy is captured and can be used to power the restaurant.

Solar city for sunshine state

Reuters reports on the proposed solar-powered city in Florida.

The aptly named "Sunshine State" will the first to experiment with a solar-only powered city to be named Babcock Ranch.

A local utility and real estate company are planning to build the largest photovoltaic plant and subsequent city at an estimated cost of $2 billion near Fort Meyers in southwestern Florida.

A spokesman for the project said it will be the first solar-powered city because it will use only solar power during the day and produce more solar power than it needs and so will be a net exporter of solar power.

In addition to having its electricity generated from solar energy, the entire city is expected to have wireless Internet access and electric-car chargers.
