Solar Energy Converted to Liquid Form




Solar Power:

1.     fastest growing energy source
2.     about to go on line, a solar farm in CA that will supply 140,000 homes
3.     now, Harvard scientists are figuring out how to convert solar energy to liquid

This could take awhile, but storing solar energy in some form other than a battery could be big news.  And this kind of break through could make solar a true replacement for some percentage of our fossil fuel.  That could upset the world’s wealth (for some countries in the Middle East this might mean a lower future wealth or spendable income). The future may not be a repeat of the past. 

Stay tuned, and comment if you know more about this topic.

  1. This explains the phenomenon that teens can soak in the rays of the sun and sweat liquid beer.
