The project 'Le Flying Fish' will solely rely on the sun as a sustainable energy source to power the electronics: SSB radio, navigation instruments, laptop...  No CO2 emission!  The strategy will be fairly simple: minimize power consumption to the strict necessary.  No compromise for the environment!
