Please send positive thoughts

I'm asking for focused vibes tonight. Send brainwaves, think positively, pray if you must. But please, however you do it share positive energy on behalf of the Solar Impulse, a totally solar powered aircraft that has just begun the longest (trans-Pacific) leg of its round the world journey.

We simply must move away from our dependence on fossil fuels and coal. This incredible engineering feat helps us move forward in terms of bringing efficient solar power within reach. And the incredible courage of the pilots - they fly one at a time which means one of them is tackling this five day leg solo - dwarfs in comparison many of the acts that people these days call heroic.

This marriage of elegant design and gut wrenching courage deserves our attention. Now, start thinking!

Thanks, Pals!
