Nuclear energy may be supported by majority of Americans, a survey said, but it seems that the folks at Dania, Florida think otherwise. The town of Dania, Florida has decided to cough up US$ 1 million for their new streetlight project. What's interesting is that the streetlights that will be used are going to be powered by the Sun so as to lessen the dependence of the city on electricity.

Solar power in the Sunshine State. Sounds cool to us!

The bidding for the project is already open and it would be designed to use 124 units of solar-powered lights plus the usual concrete poles. Solar powered lights have already been used by some cities for a number of years now to light up their water plants. The Dania project stands out because this is one of the few times that solar-powered lights would be used for something as huge as lightening up a whole street.

A source also claims that the city is currently in the process of planning another 75 units of solar-powered streetlights to add to the 124 street lights that are already being placed.
