I was recently in DC and had a chance to check out the Solar Decathlon being set up. Unfortunately I was unable to see the homes completed and in competition. Very cool stuff going on at colleges all across the country who compete in this annual competition. Check out solardecathlon.org for more information. For now check out all of the cranes on the Mall. So cool! The students have chosen to build most of the homes prefab or modular. At one point I thought I was witnessing a presidential escort and realized it was a big modular delivery truck being escorted into the city presidential style. The delivery company had a big official looking SUV traveling at high speed from traffic light to traffic light making sure the modules were brought in to the city with no disruption to the flow of the everyday DC life. Plus I think the local law enforcement needs the streets clear of over sized loads.
