Wouldn't it be great if our homes could be self-sufficient in energy? Well, that possibility seems to have come a step closer with a recent announcement: Scientists have discovered a way of increasing the efficiency of fuel cells (which generate electricity from water) by 200-fold.
The technique is licensed to a company called Sun Catalytix who have the aim of bringing personal 'power-stations' to homes and small businesses within 2 years! It could provide all the electric, heating, cooling and car fuel they require!!
If this is anywhere near possible on that timescale then the fossil fuel and energy providers must be seriously sweating. It could end their businesses almost overnight. More here.
