Remember our previous post about Fort Pickens?  The mystery of the solar panels atop an abandoned building? Some of you thought those panels powered a meth lab, others an emergency shelter, and some of you guessed right (yes, you).  The mystery has been solved!  Thanks to a Roxanne, a representative from the Gulf Islands National Seashore.  Those panels, seen below, have been used to power fans, also seen below, to keep air filtering through the building after the affects of Hurrican Ivan.  Throughout the park, there are 20 fans or so all powered through sunlight.

Pretty awesome huh?!  Thanks for the knowledge Roxanne!
