Daniel Nocera Invents ‘The Artificial Leaf’, Could Solve Our Energy Crisis By Powering The World
Simply put, the 'artificial leaf', invented by Dan Nocera is a device that mimics the photosynthesis of a real leaf meaning it needs only water and sunlight (no dirt) to operate. He believes his invention can solve the world's energy crisis, which next to curing cancer could be the biggest discovery in modern times much less all time, but unlike the cure for cancer this is actually a reality, although costly. With a single artificial leaf, 1.5 bottles of water and sunlight, one could power a small home!! Take the 3 minutes and watch this short film and take even longer to imagine the possibilities...
...Dan sketches out is that we start with energy. And if we solve the energy crisis, we'll solve the climate crisis, and then we'll solve the water crisis, and then we'll solve the food crisis. But it starts with energy."
