Solar-powered plane lands in Arizona on round-the-world flight

A solar-powered airplane midway through a historic bid to circle the globe completed the 10th leg of its journey on Monday, landing in Arizona after a 16-hour flight from California, the project team said. The Swiss team flying the aircraft in a campaign to build support for clean energy technologies hopes eventually to complete its circumnavigation in Abu Dhabi, where the journey began in March 2015.

My favorites part of this story is it exposes those who have spent nearly eight years expressing contempt an ridicule for renewable energy. It won't impact those who ignorance is willful, but those with imagination and a panoptic perspective on our needs for energy are elated by this event.

Thanks for posting this thread.
