MIT owns the patent to Dan Nocera's hydrogen splitter but the technology is "open source" and scientists are invited to come up with as many useful applications for it as possible.
Nocera says that in the future, individuals will produce all of their own energy requirements; to power their homes and their cars, using water and sunlight
This is what he means by "Personalized Energy."
Gone will be the gas station. Gone will be the fighting of senseless wars to control outmoded, toxic fuels.
Gone will be the burning of coal to create electricity for a mass power grid. Gone will be the cyber wars and EMP attacks against the power grids. Gone may be the power grid, itself.
In his words, the future "Is really not that bad."
