Breakthrough?


Researchers at MIT recently figured out how to store solar energy when it is dark outside. Similar to the way plants function, these scientists found a way to extract energy from water in a gas form. Although this is not a detailed explanation of the process, the fact that we could be able to use a very clean (and cheap!) source of energy during the night or day is exciting news. If put on a massive scale, perhaps it could reduce energy waste from larger industrialized businesses and various other sources of pollution (cars?). The link is below.
