More Good News for Solar!

Coming on the heels of the Oregon PUC's decision in the Honeywell case (see Steve Hall's blog below), scientists at MIT announced today that  they had discovered a cheap way to separate oxygen from hydrogen using techniques learned from studying plant photosynthesis.  Once separated, the hydrogen and oxygen can be used to power a fuel cell.  During the daytime, a home would run on solar power--at night, it would draw energy stored in the fuel cell.

Could this development be a game changer?  The full story is to be published in Science today--in the meantime, check out ScienceDaily.
