The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas

While America's farmers gear up to destroy the environment and the world's food supplies by turning their corn into ethanol, scientists at MIT have developed a revolutionary new solar power solution. The sun is a giant energy ball just hanging there in the sky, baking our skin to a gorgeous lustre and burning our retinas when we stare at it too long. But solar power has been a frustratingly inefficient alternative energy source, since there hasn't been a way to effectively store all the energy produced by the sun during the day after the sun don't shine. Enter the evil geniuses at MIT, who have mimicked the energy storage system used by plants to create a new solar technology that finally has the potential to keep Ed Begley, Jr. from running his toaster with a bicycle. The new process splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, which can later be recombined in a fuel cell. The best part? This technology is fast, cheap, yet completely under control. More details here.
