\nThe first solar powered tunnel for a high speed rail line was switched on in Europe a little less than a year ago. While not exactly hot news, it seemed like a still important story worth quickly covering here on Planetsave.<\/p>\n

The two-mile tunnel is a part of the Paris to Amsterdam line and it’s the first solar-powered tunnel in Europe. It will save a large amount of energy that would otherwise have been wasted during the train’s journey.<\/p>\n
