Current Event: Solar Power to the Rescue!

Going camping? Need a working fridge on the trip? Well, with Sola Unagi, you can! The Sola Unagi is a 22 pound suitcase that holds two 13 watt solar panels. Though the specifications do not note how long the Sola Unagi takes to completely charge, once charged, it can work wonders. The Sola Unagi can power a 21 inch color television for five hours, a laptop for six, a dorm fridge for five, and charge up to twenty cell phones at once. However, one Sola Unagi costs $1,115. I feel that this is a huge step in the cause to be green. I also think that the Sola Unagi is a great thing for portable use, though the weight is an issue. Nevertheless it is far too expensive despite the discount you receive when you purchase this item in larger numbers. Overall, trying to use solar power is becoming more and more popular and I appreciate this step in becoming more advanced in using it. Solar technology is taking the world by surprise one step at a time.
