MIT Invents Solar Powered Stained Glass Windows
Thank God for MIT. Praise the Lord, etc. MIT researchers have come up with a better way to convert sunlight into usable electricity: SOLAR POWERED STAINED GLASS WINDOWS. Here's how it works: Painted glass directs and concentrates light energy toward the edges, where solar cells do their thing. This approach reportedly generates 40 times more electricity than standard solar cells. It's the perfect thing for ecologically minded churches.

Just too cool for skool. Wouldn't that be lovely if all the windows in all homes/skyscrapers had this kind of glass and was able to contribute even 5 or 10 percent of energy to us?
Ya, that 5% would offset the standby mode power on our electronics. We need solar collection in as many places as we currently have batteries. Check out the MIT sloan mgt school group's most efficient solar collector that boils water at focal point to make steam.
