A Unique Approach to Renewable Energy, Take 2

Turns out bug gas isn’t the only unlikely renewable energy source being researched at Penn State. An article today on Forbes.com mentions the work of engineering professor Craig Grimes, whose team is trying to find more efficient ways to turn carbon dioxide into fuel; specifically, Grimes hopes to create a solar-powered “carbon dioxide recycling machine.” Like so much of the research that comes out of Penn State’s world-class College of Engineering, I don’t understand it, but is sounds awfully cool.
