Searching for “Daniel Nocera” on this site there’s a very similar story from 2008 where they hype gauge is off the scale. That story also has the same guy from Imperial College singing its praises.

I read about this last year…developed by a guy who took the technology to India for production. Did anyone else come across that? I posted it all over Facebook, and I don’t think MIT was involved at all.

I could be wrong, but i’m pretty positive it is — “Dr. Nocera,” “artificial leaf,” “put it into water and it splits water into hydrogen & oxygen”

again, i could be wrong, but i’m not seeing the difference yet

With the permanent loss of jobs in the U.S., diminished use of consumer credit, reduced driving miles, restaurant usage, and conspicuous consumption; i’m seeing a return to individual empowerment.

With the addition of personal energy generation, the world could see an individual autonomous structure for civilization that hasn’t existed since the hunter/gatherers.

Such would be appropriate for an Earth Climate Change.
