MIT Finds Solar Power BREAKTHROUGH!
Hold onto your hats friends, because in a few years, we might be looking back on this post right here and thinking “that’s where it all started….” What is “this,” you might be asking? A solar power breakthrough that might make the storing of the sun’s energy easier than Ever, and that, in turn, might enable a much wider spread adoption of the technology.
According to news reports all over the place, a researcher at MIT might have found a breakthrough that will do exactly this, and the craziest part of it, it is relatively simple. While “Simple” to them probably means vastly different things to us, they basically discovered and developed:
“a less expensive storage technology so energy captured when the sun shines can be stored to be used at night or on cloudy days. They both made a catalyst consisting of cobalt metal, phosphate and an electrode that can generate oxygen by splitting water into its basic molecules, that is, oxygen and hydrogen gas. The oxygen and hydrogen then can be combined inside a fuel cell, generating carbon-free electricity that can power a house or an electric car, whether it is day or night.”
Just how big of a breakthrough is this? How about trying this on for size, it is being called “The most important single discovery of the century…” and while this century is still young, that’s really saying something. Especially when that gem of a quote comes from a genius in chemistry.
Knowing all this, why not start stocking up on solar panels now!
