Gravity Batteries, Green Hydrogen, and a Thorium Reactor for China

Cars That Think

This article, by researchers at PARC and the University of Washington, is one possible answer. This time around, though, the emphasis is on “green hydrogen”—that is, hydrogen produced using clean energy such as solar or wind power. The basic idea is to add particles of sea salt to the atmosphere to brighten clouds and cool the planet.
