Alternative Energy
I apparently missed global climate change blogging day, but I'm making up for it a bit late. I've just been reading up on MIT Professor Daniel Nocera's studies in artificial photosynthesis as a means of energy generation. This man and his team are my new heroes. Now, I lack the science to evaluate whether their studies will be a huge energy breakthrough. I hope so! But this is definitely the sort of philosophical tack we need to take: innovative yet learning from nature, looking to the sun, and imagining small-scale energy generation for energy independence on a family scale for people around the world. I want to give him money. I hope my tax dollars will be generously doing so.
