Solar Boats on the Coventry Canal?


Solar-powered boat shuttles are now in use in London and Hamburg.

For the London one (on the Serpentine), any surplus electricity generated by the boat's solar panels is fed back into the National Grid.

I'm sure that someone in Coventry could make a go of marketing 4 mph, silent, pollution-free cruises between the Canal Basin and The Greyhound at Sutton Stop.
