Roadmap 2050 - a pratical guide to a prosperous low carbon Europe

The third volume of the report, the ‘Graphic Narrative’, has been prepared by OMA with the European Climate Foundation. This narrative after establishing the data goes on to reframe Europe as ‘Eneropa’ with the continent’s boundaries reshaped according to the sustainable energy industries they could potentially host (Solaria, Isle of the Winds, Geothermalia etc) all connected by a unified European Energy Grid.

very nice explanation of sustainability concept through animated video.

A prototype of the Solar Impulse, an aircraft powered entirely by the sun with a giant wingspan measuring 63 meters (about 207 feet), or roughly that of a large commercial passenger aircraft. That design is aimed in large part at maximizing surface area in order to make it possible to attach 11,628 solar cells.

The plane will carry four 100 kilogram lithium batteries each powering a propeller engine. But the overall weight of the plane is 1,600 kilograms (3,527 pounds), or about that of a car.
