Global Warming and Energy

Japanese snow storm kills 11, injures 1,200. This is a terrible reminder that global cooling is deadly while global warming is productive.

Sugar battery holds 10 times the energy of lithium.

"Now, researchers at Virginia Tech have successfully created a sugar-powered fuel cell that has an energy storage density of 596 amp-hours per kilo — or “one order of magnitude” higher than lithium-ion batteries. This fuel cell is refillable with a solution of maltodextrin, and its only by products are electricity and water. The chief researcher, Y.H. Percival Zhang, says the tech could be commercialized in as soon as three years."

Let's hope this becomes a real product. So many promising discoveries never do.
