Another cute and smart Aussie

Since we seem to be collecting cute, smart Aussies, we should invite this gal.

Hey yeah, let's invite her. Brilliant work though. If this vision of solar cells created through a cheaper and less destructive process works out commercially, it could very well be the answer the world has needed.

Well done Nicole!

She has developed a simple, cheap way of producing solar cells in a pizza oven that could eventually bring power and light to the 2 billion people in the world who lack electricity.

Amazing coincidence - my latest work involves using a solar cell oven to bake pizza.

There's a company in town that is doing development on a variety of solar technology things... one of their latest products is window tinting for homes and cars that is actally very thin solar-panel film. Cool stuff.

Hooray! Now even the poorest backward nations can have electric-chairs, and the uncontacted tribes of South America can watch Oprah.

I second what Aliantha said --- this could be <i>the</i> answer. Cheap power, plentiful power, clean unpolluting power with no waste products.

Now I'm waiting for the inevitable dropping of the other shoe.
