'Major discovery' from MIT primed to unleash solar revolution

'In a revolutionary leap that could transform solar power from a marginal, boutique alternative into a mainstream energy source, MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.

'Inspired by the photosynthesis performed by plants, Nocera and Matthew Kanan, a postdoctoral fellow in Nocera's lab, have developed an unprecedented process that will allow the sun's energy to be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Later, the oxygen and hydrogen may be recombined inside a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity to power your house or your electric car, day or night.'

This is how he'd do it.

Ah, but we're plagued by the mob with small minds and small hearts. Eschewing the few real giants among us we quarrel over which obedient follower will lead us... to oblivion.
