Living close to the ocean, this concept is something I would definitely look into. Being a computer nerd, what better than have the ability to lay out in the sand without having to worry about any gadget losing battery power. The portable solar tree is a solar powered energy source with power sockets along the shaft. Simply stick one end of the solar tree into the sand and woo-laa, you’ve got yourself electricity without a long extension cord!
