The men the public admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.

There are over 6,000,000 abandoned drill sites in the U.S. alone, not to mention the tar sands, fracking pools (like this one in Canada) and the growing numbers of decimated ecosystems and most of the arable land mass of the planet in the name of big oil and gas profits!

Bruce Logan and Younggy Kim, developed a microbial reverse electrodyalysis electrolysis fuel cell with a nanofilter that can take everyday wastewater and generate unlimited Hydrogen Fuel using less than 1% of the energy generated.

Dan Nocera and his team at MIT have developed an artificial photosynthesis leaf that can generate 10X the storage within 1/100 of the volume of commercial fuel cell. A swimming pool full of water (3.2 million liters) for example can generate over 43TW (Terrawatts) per second using his solution.

Organic photonics and electronics like these nano scale solar cells can be sprayed as dust on clothing or other porous surfaces to generate enough power for all proximal appliances like lights and electronics.

Local grow technologies that use 1/100th of the water, 3-5 times the weight of the plant to wattage used (most indoor growers can use 1/1000 of the space of mass agriculture) and a simple solar powerered LED bulb to generate enough yields to never pay for produce or a supply chain again!
