Since a disproportionate number America's most productive engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs are foreign-born, let's give credit where it's due, make it easy for these guys to stay here (rather than forcing them back to Mumbai and Xanxii after they graduate from MIT because Sarah Palin thinks they look like terrorists), and help prop up our sinking ship.
While DC and Wall St propose that we borrow more money to pay for the money that we've already borrowed and can't pay back, and the two presidential candidates are locked in a contest to outdo each others' ignorance and ineptitude on the crisis, we need talented scientists and entrepreneurs more than ever. So, on with this week's entry: eSolar.The Google-backed company has a new solar technology that creates hydrogen as well as electricity with an innovative dish design. The dishes, called Solarec, short for Solar Reduction of Carbon Dioxide, can not only produce hydrogen, but also desalinate water and create methanol, a useful fuel.
