MIT develops low-cost artificial leaf

This will be limited to nations with plentiful water, but it sounds real useful.

Fascinating, it's not as if these things grow on trees.

Those trees don't provide electric power, so what's your point?

Tim, do try and occasioally think a bit more outside of the box; what happens when you chop a tree down, what is one of the uses you could put the wood to ? 

It'll warm the house and cook some food, that's it. Most 3rd world countries are not in temperate, let alone arctic climates though so the first is useless. Electricity is a hundred times more useful.

You do know you can turn wood into electricity ?

If you have a fucking powerplant, these artificial leaves can power a home with a single leaf. What the hell is your problem?

His problem is that he wants to defend his witticism even though it doesn't hold up to close scrutiny. It's a common failing.
