How Artificial Leaves Could Generate Clean Hydrogen 101
An anonymous reader writes "At Imperial College London, researchers have embarked on a £1m project to study, and eventually mimic, photosynthesis. Part of the 'artificial leaf' project involves working out exactly how leaves use sunlight to make useful molecules. The team then plans to build artificial systems that can do the same to generate clean fuels such as hydrogen and methanol. These would then be used in fuel cells to make electricity or to directly power super-clean vehicles."

If you wanted photosynthesis research done, why don't you do it yourself instead of leaning on the people who donate their time and energy to...
Oh. Wait. Sorry. I thought we were talking about a feature missing in an FOSS package.

Obviously we'll need somewhere to put them. Possibly we could clear some woodlands to make room for them.
