A team of 22 Dutch students from Eindhoven University of Technology, known as Solar Team Eindhoven, has engineered the world's first solar-powered camper van, aptly named Stella Vita.

This innovative vehicle is designed to be entirely self-sufficient, drawing energy exclusively from solar panels integrated into its roof. On a sunny day, Stella Vita can travel up to 730 kilometers (approximately 450 miles) within 24 hours and reach speeds up to 120 kilometers per hour (75 mph).

The camper van is thoughtfully equipped to accommodate two people, featuring essential amenities such as a kitchen with a refrigerator, a seating area, a bed, a shower, and a toilet. When stationary, the roof can be elevated to allow occupants to stand upright, enhancing comfort during activities like cooking or working.

The vehicle's solar panels not only power its driving capabilities but also supply energy for all onboard utilities, including lighting, cooking appliances, and even a television. To maximize solar energy capture, additional panels can be extended when the van is parked, effectively doubling the surface area available for energy absorption.

In a remarkable demonstration of its capabilities, the team embarked on an 1,800-mile journey from Eindhoven to the southernmost tip of Spain, relying solely on solar power. This expedition aimed to showcase the potential of sustainable energy in revolutionizing mobility and inspiring a transition towards more eco-friendly transportation solutions.

I wrote this in 2013. Sadly it is much more pertinent today.
"I would like to know how we became a society that has sat blindly by while the rich and powerful have taken over the running of our country and are continually screwing it up and oppressing the poor. How we continue to bury our heads in the sand on a daily basis. It is apparent from history and literature that we were once a force to be reckoned with; the American people. Now were not much better off than we were before the revolution. After all we do have taxation without representation.
I’d like to know how we got here."
