Re: Only 1 gallon of water powers entire house with new solar leaf

A wondrous vision and a fools folly!

I gotta admit it sounds pretty far-fetched.  But didn't the horse and buggy crowd once say the same thing about the automobile?  Who knows what the future may bring - almost certainly not centuries more of the same old fossil fuel technology.  Course that firewood was awfully useful this past cold and icy winter . . . (and it felt good to know that I was helping global warming along).

If history tells us anything it is that our government trying to provide just about anything for us will manage to turn it into folly no matter whether an idea was viable or not in the beginning.

The MIT guy's idea is to produce home sized units.  I would be a possible buyer if not for all the trees my house is nestled in  - and you know how much I like to hug them.
