Sheel finds this interesting solar auto rickshaw during his trip to Bangalore.I couldn’t find the driver so I don’t know full details - but there are solar cells all over the thing. I’d find it hard to believe that it runs entirely on solar power… my guess is that you plug it into the wall at night and the solar power just helps to recharge. Very cool nonetheless… I wonder if it makes fiscal sense to unleash these all over the country… It’d be an awesome thing from a pollution standpoint, as I think rickshaws are a pretty big contributor to pollution in cities in India.[via Sheel Mohnot]
I have never heard of a solar rickshaw before. A bit of googling revealed this and this.
Anyone heard/seen one of these before ?

Riot,
Yes, from the environmental point of view, this is certainly good. I have never come across these. But, the owners have to be made aware of the existing deficiencies of the present auto rickshaws.
dude, gotcha!!! nice looking blog. not able to go thru it now but will do so asap
hey the earlier comment was from me ;-0 Appa is here, says hi
hey people
Some of you know me and some of you dont.
Anyways would just like to share with you somethin which frightens me every single day and the fear just keeps growing!

youtube (search for climate change videos. ul be amazed at the number)
Here are some links which could give you more info on the phenomenon. they have some mindboggling information, not only on global warming and climate change, the politics involved, the effects, the solutions etc etc.
And what is so fascinating about all this is the involovement of the youth. The future is ours and it is being burned away. Dont we have a right to fight for it??
It is amazing to see some of the work done by these 20 year olds. Really makes you wanna get up and act too!
Climate change is becoming the hot topis for discussion today. there has to be a logical reason for this.
try to get hold of a copy of the Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore. if you cant just contact me.
I think its time to do something. In our campuses. In our homes and in our neighbourhoods. Dont you?
If you feel the same do contact me and lets figure out what we can do in our small ways to spread awareness and kick some butt! If you need info, documents, videos, pics, documentaries etc etc, also ill be happy to help. As long as the message passes hands.. Please do inform friends, family, enemies, strangers. pass on this mail to them. Lets all try and do something before everything is on fire or under water ( whichever happens first!)
Cheers

Yes, I've seen those before, saw a great documentary a couple of months ago. They said there that it was fully going on the solar cells. Not fast, but still.
