There's been lots of talk in Troubled Times about not relying on solar energy 
because of lack of sun. However, we continue to talk about the need for artificial 
light to grow plants. Here's a reality: If we're able to generate artificial light then 
solar powered items are quite viable. In any sort of greenhouse scenario, you need 
aisles to maintain plants. While you're not using these aisles for your feet, you can 
populate them with solar paneled rechargeable devices that could even feed back 
into the system powering the light in the first place. My latest Jade Mountain 
catalog (800-442-1972), has unbreakable solar panels. While I agree it can't be the 
primary source of power, it can certainly recycle light generating from another 
power source such as wind.
