Check out this article at tomshardware. They have a project on running a computer 100% by solar power.

By the way einstein, is "electricity" really pollution?  |
hello mr x
so mr tell me how electricity is produced
i can suggest various ways ,
thermal power plant using coal
nuclear power plant using nuc fuel (huge pollution 100000 tonne nuc waste)
generator using petrol , diesel ,
burning waste
ya
hydro electric dont create pollution , also tidal , geo thermal , wind etc
but we dont use tidal , geo thermal and forget wind in cities
now tell me we mostly use the above plants
which create huge pollution!
tell me how will u run a compressor which is for public use ,
which will run 24 hr and consume power equivalent to 10 huge cities
for air compressed , for nitrogen comp
u need air at 4315 Kpa/m(square)
huge pressure
now tell me ur hydro electric single or say u build 10 dams ,(hope water scarcity doesnt exists)
can u run as many pumps (pumps for comp air vehicles) on hydroelectricity!
so think practically and then criticise!
