World Future Energy Summit

To mark the end of the summit, I pondered which photo to upload. I did like the look of the solar powered boat that is moored on the jetty outside, but it blends a bit too much into the water background.

There is much talk of solar powered systems. These collectors were installed only two years ago, and are already requiring a high degree of repair / replacement due to the much higher than normal corrosive effects of the sunshine, sand storms and salty air. I would say things will last around a third of the time expected in northern Europe
