Dr. Daniel Nocera: A new method of storing solar energy

admin | January 5th, 2009 | solar power energy

In a major breakthrough, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered an inexpensive way to store solar energy, mimicking photosynthesis. The paper, published in the July 2008 edition of the journal Science, describes a revolutionary technique to split water into hydrogen and oxygen using solar power. Dr. Daniel Nocera of MIT, the lead author of the paper, believes his team’s discovery will open the door for the large scale use of domestic solar power.

Website Links to Saving the Planet 1 http://www.PickensPlan.com The most USA’s most aggressive plan to solve our energy crisis. 2 http://www.PickensPlan.com/news/ Please take an hour to learn in details what T Boone Pickens plan is as he speaks in the Topeka Town Hall meeting. 3 www.TheWindTurbines.com/Photographs/Windmills.html How many different kind of wind turbines are there? Most are adapted to farm colonies where many are linked together for commercial use but there are some turbines made for individual use. 4 http://www.TheWindTurbines.com/ Read what you need to learn what to know about wind turbines which can have a big effect on how much oil we buy from overseas.

If we use that in cars we can buy oil locally we can keep the jobs it creates at home. Sadly no natural gas cars are produced in the US today. GM makes 22 models outside the USA. Natural gas burns a lot cleaner than oil and costs less. 8 http://www.UseSolarPowerEnergy.com/ As we develop technology we can better use solar power as our energy source. There is a lot of it there. Read how solar energy works. You may be able to contribute an idea non promoting it. 9 http://www.DropOfOil.com An extremely powerful weapon we have in solving our addiction to oil is in “conservation”. We waste significant amounts of oil. By conserving and not wasting in everything we do we can help save the planet by collectively saving one drop of oil at a time which will add up to tankers full. It is our most realistic consideration in solving our energy problem, but it is going to take a log of education and marketing to get that message across. 10 http://www.DropOfOil.com/SaveThe/Planet1.html Here are over 100 tips that you and your family use in leaning away from consumptivitis which eats into to our addiction to oil.
11 http://www.AmericanPatriotismNeeded.com This is about the hardest of all the projects to get a new energy plan rolling. The American public is not yet about to give up anything they have been used to using. It is going to take a real great “energy catharsis” to begin to change the attitude of each and every citizen knowing that our survival is dependent on demonstrating our loyalty to our country and the cause it has planned to cure the energy problem. It must start from the President and works its way down through every politician and leader. There has to be a common thread. It probably wont happen until we are so deep in an energy crisis that it might be too late to resurrect ourselves.
12 http://www.VideosBankruptcy.com/ Watch what some people think is a very high risk that the United States itself goes bankrupt. What happens when the US Government is out of real money and credit? Your life is going to change big time to a position far different than what you ever dreamed it could be. 13 http://www.ChangingIdeas.com/Global-Warming/It-Must-Be-Stopped.html Global warming is a valid flag raising concern. A high majority of scientists have affirmed global warming. When we reduce our consumption of oil we have a far greater chance of keeping global warming from becoming a predictable reality. 14 http://www.EndAddictionToOil.com/Waste/Consumptivitis.html Waste and consumptivitis have been a major cause of the increased dependence we have on oil. Everything we do or use is related to oil. Changing this will come significantly when we are successful in making a change in our patriotism. 15 http://www.EndaddictionToOil.com/Waste/Recycle.html By learning to recycle everything we can make big difference in our demand for oil. 16 http://www.EndaddictionToOil.com/WebsiteMakeover/Recycle.com.html Learn about recycling things here. 17 http://www.UseSolarPowerEnergy.com/Photos/Panels.html Look at all the different types of solar panels used to make electricity. Some will fit on your roof or in your back yard. When you are creating more electricity than you need you sell it back to the power company for others to use.
