A revolutionary technology that uses sunlight and sea water to produce an unlimited supply of clean, hydrogen fuel could be developed within a decade, Sydney researchers say.
Leigh Sheppard, of the University of NSW, estimated that 1.6 million of the solar devices, installed on rooftops, would be able to produce enough hydrogen gas to supply Australia's entire energy needs. While other energy options under discussion, such as nuclear power, produce harmful wastes, the only by-products of this solar hydrogen technology would be oxygen and fresh water, Dr Sheppard said.
"It is the cleanest, greenest energy option for a sustainable economy."
Now see news like this makes me feel so much better about the world that I am leaving to my daughter.
Without the need to constantly search for and retrieve fossil fuels, we can drastically cut back on the need for conflict around the world. It is the fight for resources that fuels much of the conflict that we face today.
Well that and religion. Of course we are probably not going to see a reduction in religious conflict within our lifetimes. Primitive people are just not easily reasoned with. Especially here in America.
