This is a perfectly timed bit of PR:
"A shuttle boat powered entirely by the sun is to be launched on the Serpentine lake in London's Hyde Park.
[...]
When not in use and docked, any surplus electricity generated by the boat's solar panels will be fed back into the National Grid."
It's a leisurely 4mph but I'd love to take a trip. It's silent and pollution free, which is quite a change to the hot and stuff train I had to peel myself out of this morning.

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
This is excellent! I love the idea for the use for it and also that surplus energy created isn't wasted. That's great news.
