Some
of the Newest Most Exciting Energy Innovations
The Bloom Box.
A silicon Valley invention that uses fuel cells to produce electricity on
site eliminating any connection to the electrical grid. Several large companies (Google, Walmart, Fed
Ex, Staples, etc.) have already bought and are testing these Bloom Boxes.

The car that runs on air.
One of
the most exciting innovations in automobiles, to date, is the zero pollution
compressed air powered car which is planned to have a range of up to 500 miles
on a full charge of air. The cost of electric for a full charge of compressed
air is estimated to be approximately three dollars. The compressor can be
operated during low use hours.
The
price of the compressed air powered car is estimated to be under $20K which will
make it competitive with many gasoline powered cars currently on the market.

Unlimited Solar Power?
This
new discovery could lead to unlimited cheap energy according to Clean Technica 27 October 2008.
Researchers
at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered a new way of
storing energy from sunlight. The breakthrough could potentially lead to
unlimited solar power.
The
process which is loosely based on plant photosynthesis uses solar energy to
split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. When needed, the
gases can then be re-combined in a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity
whether the sun is shining or not.
The
process uses natural materials, is inexpensive to conduct and is easy to set
up.
