So there must be some way so that even if electric power is not available we can use batteries. The solution comes from the sun, the largest energy source available to us.

GoogleKnol - a Google’s alternative of Wikipedia
Posted by Tech Mentor under Tech NewsWikipedia is a famous internet encyclopedia in which different people contribute. Wikipedia has compiled 2.1 million English-language articles as well as millions more in dozens of other languages. But now a strong competitor is raised as googlepedia an alternative proposed by Google. Idea behind googlepedia is basically that it will consist of material submitted by people who want to be identified as experts and possibly profit from their knowledge.
Google called its alternative as “knol” - the company’s shorthand for a “unit of knowledge”. “There are millions of people who possess useful knowledge that they would love to share, and there are billions of people who can benefit from it,” Ubi Manber, Google’s vice president of engineering, wrote in the company’s posting about the new service. “We believe that many do not share that knowledge today simply because it is not easy enough to do that”, he added.
Citizendium is other Internet encyclopedia launched earlier this year also insists on identifying the writers of its articles. Unlike Google, Citizendium relies on a collaborative editing process to verify the accuracy of its articles. Google, which is expected to earn more than $4 billion this year, also wants to make money off its encyclopedia. Although the resource will be available for free just like Google’s search engine, the company wants to place ads related to the topics covered on each page.
