We have neither flying cars nor all of our energy needs provided by the sun. 

The future is taking a while to arrive.  But efforts are underway to make more use of the sun's power. 

Ashland and Eugene are among five Oregon cities joining Environment Oregon in the "Solar City Project," setting aggressive targets for the installation of solar facilities over the next several years.  Environment Oregon advocate Charlie Fisher explains the program components.
