Every day it seems like I stumble across not one or two, but multiple articles about advances being made in green technologies and green practices. I'm going to group several together to catch my readers up a little bit about what is going on in the world of green research. It's not that the work hadn't already begun before President Obama took over the presidency, but the political climate before his arrival was more hostile than supportive. Now that the tables have turned, the technological ideas and advances are being released from scientific closets all around the world.
In this first article you can learn about how a noxious gas, hydrogen sulfide, can be used as a renewable source of hydrogen gas. This gas, which smells of rotten eggs, is found in large quantities in the Black Sea. To get down and geeky, check out the link below:

Scientists at the University of Southampton are mimicking the natural process of photosynthesis to produce a new generation of solar cells. This article is even geekier, so prepared to learn something:

Now if we could really bring down the cost and ease of using solar power as suggested in the article below, we'd be on to something. What has stopped so many from jumping on the solar power bandwagon is cost and installation, but this article talks about hooking up to solar power for two dollars a day, using a panel so simple to install that you can do it yourself in an afternoon. I am so on that one when it hits the market.
