Comments for Solar Powered Mega-Airship at http://www.ecogeek.org , comment 1 to 2 out of 2 comments http://www.ecogeek.org Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:53:20 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2885--solar-powered-mega-airship#comment-29585 Thanks for the article about the Turtle Airships. I will visit their website to get more details. Air travel became the norm in the 20th century for people who want to discover our world for themselves. We need a viable alternative to the skinny, fuel-guzzling, polluting airplane for the new century and beyond. I myself would feel far more comfortable in a Turtle Airship than in the aircraft that streak through the skies today: monstrously big on the outside, sardine-can sized on the inside. - Carol Shetler Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:58:29 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2885--solar-powered-mega-airship#comment-29146 Thanks EcoGeek, for the great write-up! (picture that accompanied this post though, is of a competitors airship design) We are absolutely committed to creating true, viable solar powered air transport. In light of climate change concerns and the prices/scarcity of oil, we think that solar powered/biofueled airships are the future. The single thing holding this technology back, is a demonstration of it, which takes financing. Our plan is to do that, with a smaller sized airship; and then move on to create many larger airships. We're always pleased to discuss the airships or to answer questions. Thanks again!
