Two relatively cool things
The first is super cool, no questions asked. I have long believed that solar energy is the best answer for many of out planet's problems (with geo-thermal helping out here and there). The cheaper and more efficient solar energy becomes the simpler it will be for everyone to use. Developments like this, and the solar window panes that were in the news last month, will one day lead to a free-er economy that is no longer based around energy.
Then this next story... I'm not sure how I feel about it. I like the idea of a cheap drug that can be distributed to everyone to improve health, but I don't like general concept that we should rely on a pill to make ourselves healthy. Instead of taking a pill to lower your blood pressure take a walk and cut out a cheese burger now and then (I know, I know, I eat cheese burgers and Bo Jangles all the time... but I had sushi for dinner and a salad at lunch too...) I'm not sure how I feel about the excercise pill... but I'd probably take it if I thought I could get super hott, ripped with it...

I remember us having many discussions about solar energy. I like the guys comment at the end of the article about the leaves, "I own you now". I remember discussing how we could use photosynthesis to our advantage to produce energy.
yeah, I really liked that quote too. I almost included in the original post. I thought of you when I saw it. It's good to know that the uber MIT geniuses think similar to the way we do.
