t r u t h o u t "Major Discovery" From MIT Primed to Unleash Solar Revolution

This is truly "innovation that matters", a way to store solar energy for use when the sun isn't shining... These are the kind of breakthroughs that will be required in order to slow climate change. Isn't it interesting that while most scientists now agree that the current period of accelerated global warming is caused in part by human beings, and particularly the industrial revolution, this same industrial revolution has created the platform of knowledge, expertise, and scientific advances required to launch us into a sustainable world ecology & economy... Of course, this is dependent on our willingness to see what's possible, invest in brand new clean technologies - until they are effective and scaleable, and to euthanize old processes, business models, and technologies that no longer serve us....

Can we "let go to grow" as IBM executive Linda Sanford writes about? The optimist in me says that we can... and in fact, we already are. Let's accelerate...
