content: Yeeeeeeeeees! The climatge change king! God lordy all you folks who dont have royalties.The interesting thing is that in the article the King thinks about installing solar roads around thecastle to, he had read somewhere it was a success!King on roof to install them himself dressed in armani suit and royal blue helmet, not oftenyou see King mix with regular underpaid blue collar workers. 600panels at 170MWh equaling12% of the castle yearly consumption..The King (French origin) watches pingpong in olympics with wife left (German origin)who seams reluctant to his shouting while the lady below dont enjoy it at all!FAIL! King does not wear helmet properly. In the background to right you can see his majestythe king Moon rocket as his attempt to crusade to conquer Moon for King and his sheeps.End of Sweddish royal news...

content: Not much to say, the poster pretty much covered all bases perfectlyOne can only assume the coffers must be running low, and advisers may have recommended the king of sweetden mix it up with the rabble a bitto drum up some waning royalty business

content: Solar courtyard! You read it here first!As for the roof installation; did they really install panels on the section of the roof that is angled to the north? It makes me think that the whole thing is a popularity stunt, and I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the panels weren't actually hooked up to anything.

content: So the castles energy consumption average nearly 4MWHr/day -- that's about 70X the typical home usage. Not the most elegant arrangement of panels and only 12% of total usage, looks more like a token, but every little bit helps I guess.Brian
