The chief professor of energy at MIT and a fellow researcher have discovered a cheap way to mimic the way plants store energy from the sun and say that it will enable homes and electric cars to be run entirely on solar power and fuel cells. The energy nirvana has been found and could signal the era of centralised power distribution they say.
