The sun is the ultimate supporter of life on our planet as well as on other solar system planets, if life exists there. I have one idea for you, if you can persuade the politicians to direct their attention there. Solar energy from the world's desert regions can be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen by the process of electrolysis. The hydrogen thus produced can then be shipped to users much like fossil fuels pumped from the earth today are. This process would require the erection of giant solar panels in the desert and the pumping of sea water and other waste water for electrolysis. The technology is nothing new. What is new is getting used to the idea of hydrogen replacing the hydrocarbons we are currently so addicted to.

hi,
New Source of Energy Using Nanotechnology :
Reaction Can Occur in Microseconds on Surfaces as Small as Microchips
Countries across the world continue to search for new ways to create energy. As our current means for energy continue to deplete, thus making them more expensive to generate, governments are searching for new energy resources. Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia have developed a more efficient source of energy involving nano-scale particles that take only microseconds to create and can be developed on a surface as small as a microchip.
"This technology is considerably less expensive than existing chemical and physical processes," said Shubhra Gangopadhyay, professor of electrical engineering at MU. "It creates high amounts of mechanical and thermal energy and can convert that energy into electrical energy. So, the possibilities are endless in terms of what this energy can do."
The energy is developed using solid state energetic material consisting of fuel and oxidizer. The nano-engineered energetic material generates a tremendous amount of thermal and mechanical energy when ignited. Electric power is generated using the thermoelectric effect. The microfabricated devices coated with the energetic material are capable of producing tens of joules, which are units of energy, in the fraction of a second, which can be used for pulsed power applications or can be stored in charge storage devices for later use in portable electronics.
Power also is generated by converting mechanical energy produced by shock waves into electrical energy utilizing piezoelectric materials, which are materials where the positive and negative electrical charges are separated, but symmetrically distributed, so that the material overall is electrically neutral. MU researchers currently are working on the process to couple the thermoelectric and piezoelectric effect to produce energy on a single chip.
Gangopadhyay says there currently are no obstacles to overcome with the research. She points out that the process can be done on glass without affecting its surface and does not necessarily need electricity to start it. All that is needed is friction or impact.
The researchers currently are seeking a patent for this technology.

Think of the unimaginable amount of energy involved in just one big storm. There could be ways to harness energy which have not been thought of or developèd yet.

Why a new energy source . The earth has fossil fuel recycling. The plants do it for us.

Use solar panels and convert the sun rays into a form of energy and demonstrate with the help of a simple frying pan demo.
ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!
CHEERS:)
