This technology also solves the quest for a clean energy source that will not be depleted. Most renewable energy comes to us directly or indirectly from the sun. Solar radiation absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere is dissipated in the form of wind, ocean currents and precipitation. It is a natural process that is constantly replenished, and the cost of the fuel is constant: zero. (go to article in T&D World)
