Breakthrough



Ecogeek discusses a new way to do electrolysis, courtesy of MIT.
The scientists seem to be confident that this is a game changer, and a breakthrough, though they're saying it'll be a decade before it can be fully implemented. Nonetheless, this is a big freakin' deal, especially if combined with the next wave of cheap renewables. Power storage remains a huge issue, and if this could solve that problem, it would be the second step we need toward a truly renewable future.
This could lead to every home having its own power source and fueling source for electric vehicles--with renewable energy for our kid's future.
