Manifesting Bio-Fuels
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology claim to be one step closer to mimicking plant-like energy production in the lab. Apparently using a Cesium-Oxygen-Nitrogen mixture, they can create a potent fuel from scratch using concentrated sunlight as the only catalyst.
Exciting stuff. This would seem to get us out of the problem of our feeble solar battery storage capacities. And it would require only a moderate re-tooling of our current fueling infrastructure. What, you say? No apocalyptic predictions tonight? Hey, whaddya want? It’s almost the weekend/holiday of doom. I’m swamped already… To distract yourself, have some more information on Cerium:
