Sounds like the most recent version of the world famous French writer Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days, right! Well, this is not an excellent work of fiction, but surely an excerpt of revolutionary reality. For the very first time in history, the Solar Taxi has traveled around the world without drinking even a drop of gasoline.

Louis Palmer, a Swiss schoolteacher had for sure trusted his solar car to the core and the car too made its master proud. Together, they went on a 17-month tour across 32,000 miles covering 38 countries. The journey started in Switzerland and touched the finish line this Thursday at the U.N. Climate Talks. Throughout the trip, the car that has a distance range of 185 miles and a top speed of 55 mph on a fully charged battery, broke down for just 2 days but gave free rides to over 1,000 people throughout the world.

I appreciate Palmer for his bravery and determination to prove the efficiency of the renewable solar energy to the world. Bravo Palmer, you accomplished the mission!
