[PRCo] Fwd: Re: Fwd: Linz City Runner

[Schneider Fred]

I know I'm talking to myself.
I posted the following links about Solar City on another web site.    
No sense not letting you all see them too.

Most of you can delete this.   Some many be interested.   Solar City,  
Austria is a solar powered suburb 7 km south of Linz, Austria.   
Probably the only thing not using sun-generated power are the trams  
to downtown Linz.   Town supports about 13,000 households or 25,000  
people with its own stores, police station, library, etc.  Typish  
Europäschen.   Seems to me the streetcar service in the off peak was  
about every 15 minutes with those monstrous multi-section trams.  You  
can look at the links if you wish.    'Nuff said.
