Yeah. Makes you wonder why Iran doesnt go this way instead of its "peaceful" nuke program. I mean, comon... they live in a freeking DESERT! You know, big empty thing with SUN and LOTS OF IT. They could make a bloody massive mirror and get lots of free energy for it.

Don't you understand anything at all??

Offcourse Iran could invest in such a thing as solar power.

But how much damage do Israel get if Iran drop one of those, solar power, on them??

Non, what so ever! Do you understand now??

Iran could never go solar powered. How would it survive when it can't use it's death ray due to it being a cloudy day???

Beautiful pics Stealth....

However I can't understand how like pretty much a lot of threads here start on one topic and then diverge into bashing one country or the other.

How did this turn into an Iran bashing contest?

AS for the topic this is good news as I'd love to plaster solar tiles on my roof and run certain electrical items off it.

Saw a guy on the news here in the UK who did just that, he got a grant from the government for investing in renewable energy and not only does he pay no electricity bill, the power company actually pays him for any surplus energy he makes!

[EDIT] BTW Stealth Hunter Iran looks like a beautiful country, very nice pics
