Power of The Sun
Regarding Kevin Bullis's article on MIT professor Daniel Nocera's method of deriving hydrogen from water using sunlight ("Sun + Water = Fuel," November/December 2008), I suggest going further: tap the power of the sun. Had the plug not been pulled on funding of fusion-related research, we'd be closer to having that technology. Solar, wind, and even "conventional" nuclear power are all diversions from fusion. Like Nocera, let's take a hint from nature. Stellar fusion is the universe's choice for power. Let's get smart and use it here on Earth.
