I could see where it could have been useful out west and in the mountains and such, but if you had a flat tire you would be up a creek in that thing. Interesting that it is solar though.
ReplyDeleteSolar is the name of the manufacturer that built the gas turbine prime movers. It was NOT solar powered. We have two Solar Taurus 60s powering generators where I work.
DeleteI've worked at Solar Turbines as well, here in San Diego, their home office and original manufacturing plant, and at the Ruffin Road plant.
DeleteDon, no one inferred solar power was part of this
DeleteI work for this company!
