now that's a hybrid!

what would be really cool would be solar body panels and wind power. i've seen some flexible solar panels out already, they don't flex too much but i'm sure someone is working on a more flexible panel, just like they're working on more efficient panels, was reading about a panel breakthrough just recently that doubles panel efficiency, from ~20% to 40%.
