It happened at our group gardening meeting. Gazing lazily at a sunflower, Stuart G suddenly broke into a mad scientist type of smile. We knew then he had an inspiration that would save the world.
And the stroke of genius is? Well everybody knows how sunflowers track the sun across the sky. And… well… technology buffs have tried all sorts of ways to get solar panels to track the sun across the sky. There, you have it!
Care to calculate the power output from a hectare of micro solar panels attached to sunflowers and connected to the power grid?

What was in that tea???
Or you could genetically modify a sunflower to create a one-hectare flower so as to create economies of scale.
