By the year 1899 ninety percent of cabs in New York were Electric Cars ?

In 1899, ninety percent of the cabs in New York City were electric. By 1900, the Electric Vehicle Company had put hundreds of its electric Hansom cabs, modeled after the design of its horse-drawn predecessors, on the streets of the metropolis. The Hansoms eliminated the need for a differential by providing a separate motor and axle for each rear wheel.
For three years, Canadian Motors Limited produced a small two-seater electric called the "Motette," beginning in 1900. The same company also manufactured an electric bus called the "Tallyho."

Baking a better Solar Panel.

An interesting article in the latest Scientific American regarding organic thin-film solar cells. If they can improve the efficiency of a single solar cell, it means we will need fewer of them to produce the same amount of electricity - which would ultimately lower the price of Solar Power. Somebody else also needs to figure out a way to mass produce these solar cells cheaply. Maybe the cooks will get it right. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=baking-better-solar-cell
