Not too long ago I came across an article that I thought was just so interesting I had to share it with my friends here in the Blogosphere.
Our local Raleigh area newspaper, the News and Observer, reported that one of our many fabulous universities had obtained a grant to create a paint that has the ability to power your home!
Yes, you read that right....Paint that can power your home!
Scientists at the University of North Carolina are working on this as I write! The first attempt at "solar paint" has already been created, but its cost, presently, is too expensive for most people.
Scientists and researchers from N.C. State, Duke, NC Central and the University of Florida will all collaborate to make solar paint a commonplace commodity.
Think of the possibilities if this solar paint becomes an affordable reality. Perhaps cars could be painted with a version of it reducing emissions and lowering the use of oil. Perhaps commercial buildings, in conjunction with solar panels, could become self sufficient.
With science and research leading the way, the possibilities are limitless.
