Dubbed “bionic leaf 2.0,” the new system builds on previous work by Nocera, Silver and others ( earlier post ), which—though it was capable of using solar energy to make isopropanol—faced a number of challenges. The Harvard University Climate Change Solutions Fund is supporting ongoing research into the "bionic leaf" platform.

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. As one MIT report found, on average, “a fully electric vehicle emits about 25 percent less carbon than a comparable hybrid car.” A straightforward switch can create a substantial positive effect.

An interdisciplinary team from MIT, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and elsewhere has identified the major particles upon which cirrus clouds form. Cirrus clouds influence global climate, cooling the planet by reflecting incoming solar radiation and warming it by trapping outgoing heat.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Plus you can use solar and break technology, as well as other more experimental technology, and never have to charge it because it would then charge itself. Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Interesting in any case.
