Having spent a decent amount of time writing articles for Solar Gold Mine Digest and slicing my drive way off the green, I wanted to share a cool gadget/vehicle I just stumbled upon at CNET.News; The Solar Powered Golf Cart. Apparently a Florida-based company has created a street legal golf cart that runs on solar energy and is capable of speeds up to 65 mph. The cart runs for about $7,000 (of which $1,500 is due to the solar panel). I suppose if you are looking for simple sports gifts, you may want to pass this one by. 

As of the moment the golf cart can be found in a few retirement communities as well as some clubs in Arizona and South Florida. Personally, I wouldn’t mind having one to cruise around town down here in Texas. I mean, it wouldn’t be wise to take this cart on the highway, but at 35 mph. I think it might be fun to cruise down to the post office or maybe the local park and work on that horrid drive of mine.
