The Solar Impulse project<\/a> to fly a plane around the world without consuming a drop of fossil fuel is nearing the end of the Pacific crossing \u2014 its biggest hurdle. While its mission is not over yet, the team has already demonstrated that renewables can provide reliable power both day and night, an important step towards a clean energy future.
