The way societies should travel?

Copenhagen, already a bike friendly city, is building a series of bike highways complete with lanes, times traffic lights, foot rests for stops, and bike pumps every mile.  In a society where 1 in 3 uses biking as a main means of transportation, it looks as if they are aggressively trying to increase that number.  How cool is that?  If only every society had this kind of foresight and willingness to support modes of transept that are better for society and the environment.  You can read/listen to more about it here.

Last weekend, Germany generated a whopping 22 gigawatts of power, half the national need!  Now for those of you counting beans, the reality is it was only at midday hours and not for the entire 48 hours.  But the point is, this is where they are, and where they are going is to be fully renewable.  Something like this shows that, with a greater quantity of panels, and advanced storage facilities, coupled with energy reducing technology, and most importantly a change in how we use(waste) energy, this is doable!  Very cool stuff.
