Other projects include fabrics that look and feel normal but are embedded with microcomputers, solar panels and energy-harvesting systems, as well as fabrics that measure blood oxygen levels and track biochemicals in sweat and bedsheets that monitor depression...

To his credit, Crist has at least started the state's first real alternative energy campaign - Florida Power & Light announced this week that it will soon build three solar power plants, including one at the Kennedy Space Center and another that will be the world's largest. And on Wednesday Crist signed a bill (albeit weakened by the G.O.P.-led state legislature) to finally phase in auto and carbon emissions limits in Florida - including the first "cap and trade...
