That’s good but we don’t have this or we don’t have that. When I was a teenager, JFK proposed we get a man to the moon – we did it. When I was in my forties Clinton proposed we map out the human genome – we did. It is time we figured out how to create clean renewable solar based electricity and we produce hydrogen from artificial photosynthesis. If we can blow off mountaintops and frick and frack and destroy good land, air and water with filthy fossil fuels, it is about time we use our resources and capital a little more creatively and wisely. . . Solar electricity and hydrogen for clean abundant fuel.
If we wait for the present monopolizers who have us over the oil barrel, it won’t get done. Who knows some billionaire or two who want to do something positive with their capital. Let’s get them on board and revolutionize humanity’s harmful impact into a positive one,not just for our own life form but for others at well.

The efforts of researchers at North Carolina State University are praiseworthy.
