New scientific discoveries are moving society toward the era of "personalized solar energy," in which the focus of electricity production shifts from huge central generating stations to individuals in their own homes and communities. The report describes development of a practical, inexpensive storage system for achieving personalized solar energy. At its heart is an innovative catalyst that splits water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen that become fuel for producing electricity in a fuel cell. The new oxygen-evolving catalyst works like photosynthesis, the method plants use to make energy, producing clean energy from sunlight and water.
I believe this is yet another great idea and criteria that would shift to individuals that would allow them to accept responsibility for their energy outputs.

I agree that this is a great idea for promoting energy efficient proucts, however, the responsibility is falling on humans to actually use these productys and to join in on the effort to conserve energy.
