Solar-powered transportation

If the rich have any usefulness whatsoever, it is that they can afford to purchase technology when it is young, unproven, and very expensive. So the idea of a solar-powered yacht actually makes sense and compared to the more typical ways the rich dissipate their fortunes, it is almost enlightened.
