Except photovoltaic would use electricity - so it would be an android's solar powered pigment change, making them appear to tan like a person.
So the man is able to make incredible devices with uses that run from the sublime to the ridiculous!
Also, this.
Edit: I imagine MST3K was as popular a show in QCverse as it was here, and so the phrase is perfectly consistant!

I didn't know either.
Now I do.

To manage global climate of course.
Not only could you mitigate anthropogenic global climate change, you could control climate on a local basis.
Imagine an 8 month growing season in Siberia and Northern Canada (a very large fraction of Earth's dry land) while maintaining comfortable climates in other parts of the world.

We'd really be buying a new chassis if we tried that!
Besides, it can't work for extending a growing season. The amount of incoming light is limited by the output of The Sun. The maximum temperature is limited by the angle of the light rays striking the ground.
Getting backto Clinton's rant, he said "...keep the earth's albito stable" (emphasis mine). I used the word 'manage'. So the humorist used big words to be funny!

*sigh*
Politics is the response to GW.
Any scientist worth his salt (i.e. not on the take or compromising ethics with self-interest) will prove to you GW is a fact.
We knew it was so in the late 70's; only nobody listened.
It makes me sick to my stomach every time uneducated idiot politicians think they can hem and haw about what science facts are.
There's my 2 cents, sorry to do what Skewbrow didn't want, any responses should be in a new thread...
And i STILL don't get why Marten says "OK movie sign"; although I do understand it's supposed to mean robot hand guy is weird...
OK thanx for the direct link - I got it now!

There's Jeph's sillyness. Why would that be an enhancement to a human?
That last rant has the flavor of Murder, arson and jaywalking. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArsonMurderAndJaywalking
