Could a New Energy Source Change the World?

I swear you can get the best ideas for blogging when you watch 60 Minutes. They have a lot on there about new inventions and things coming up. I saw on 60 Minutes the other day that one man invented a new energy source. It is called the "Bloom Box". The guy who invented it is K.R. Sridhar. It will require no outside sources. Just think if we did away with all of the Nuclear and Coal Powered Power Plants how much cleaner our environment would be. Also just think that our houses would no longer be required to be next to one of them. You could build your house literally anywhere. The disadvantage of solar power is you need the sun in order to power. This will require no sun to power our homes and businesses. Can this box really do it all? According to some studies it can! I think this opens up much in the way of possibilities.

K.R. Sridhar is an entrepreneur. His project was funded by a guy who loves finding individuals that want to change the world. Isn’t that what we all in a since want to do or will do? How it works is you compact beach sand into squares and you coat both sides with a special blue and green paint. Only this guy knows what the formula is and how it works. You stack them up and these babies put together can construct a great amount of energy. They could literally power a whole house or even a whole company such as Google or eBay. Google was his first client and is already using this form of technology. He originally developed the technology for colonization on Mars. I think this is a cool and different idea. It really will change the way power is created in homes and in commercial buildings. It also claims to hold power and be able to regenerate itself. Isn’t that also our complaint about perhaps the power might go out? We had mentioned in class about if only we could find a power source that would be good for like 400 years. Well how about forever. That works for me! How about you? The power from what I understand actually regenerates itself. Therefore, he has produced a never ending energy source. Not to mention that the materials used to create the object are natural and plentiful. What does everyone else think?
