"Like the rest of the world, Cape Town wants to go green." So the city has joined forces with South African power giant Eskom and the National Energy Efficiency Agency to try out an innovative project. Four pairs of solar-powered traffic lights have been installed. The traffic lights are powered by a 3.6 m2 solar panel, tilted at a 30-degree angle to ensure maximum efficiency in capturing the sun's rays. They hope to get uninterrupted power supply for the traffic lights in Cape Town so when there are power cuts they will not have traffic jams. Seems like a good idea to me. What do you think?
