  • Daniel G. Nocera is the Patterson Rockwood Professor of Energy at Harvard University. Before joining Harvard, Nocera was on the faculty of MIT where he was the Henry Dreyfus Professor of Energy. He is widely recognized in the world as a leading researcher in renewable energy at the molecular level. He has recently accomplished a solar fuels process that captures many of the elements of photosynthesis and he has now translated this science to produce the artificial leaf (Innovation of the Year for 2011, Time Magazine). He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the Indian Academy of Sciences. He was named as 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time Magazine.
    A new epoch, characterized by ecological, environmental integrity and economic balance might be possible through a decentralized carbon-neutral energy system. Daniel Nocera describes his incredible discovery: how to emulate photosynthesis, to store energy in water splitting and meet future global energy needs.
    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    I want to see people like Dan and J Fresco and many more consolidate. Do seminars at colleges. Also search for the next president. In the herd you have to make the direction flow start.

    I can't believe this was 6 years ago! carbon emissions have not yet decelerated and will not decelerate for probably a decade due to techno-economic inertia

    You can cut your electrical company and water company out. But in states like California, it’s illegal.

    Great invention. Any progress on a pilot project?

    I like the theory...a lot....but what about actually implementations....the how, when and cost to get this going. We need these ideas on the ground NOW...time is of the essence. The critical limiting factor of our current climate problems, from fracking, coal, nuclear, off shore, spills, pollution, global warming, wars over petrol, tar sands...you name it...we are in desperate need of solutions!
    Does anyone know where to find the answers to these questions of when this idea will be realized?

      Couldn't agree more.
      Been thinking about it for years... and I guess it's only us who can make all of these 'sustainable energy' technology into actually going-can't and shouldn't wait for a 'new genius' or a 'new radical politician' to come and change the scene/system.
      And I don't want to think this way... but... perhaps, there's no other way than firstly turning these techs/ideas into a business (like what Elon Musk does) so that in the end, it'll be implemented as a whole within our society-and replace the old unsustainable energies.
      Gotta gather the capital money first and hopefully not trapped in the pursuit of it

      The Energy Corporations/business will always shut down, suppressed, jail and even assassinate any Energy scientists/inventors....The energy business is bigger than Guns, tobacco, drugs, defence...combined.. makeing 10 Trillion dollars per year.
      List of inventors and scientists suppressed/murdered by CIA/ FBI/ energy powers.
      *Tesla* - design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system
      *John Andrew* - convert fresh or salt water into a fuel with the same power as gasoline.
      *Joseph Bascle* - created the Bascle carburetor
      *Joseph Yater* - convert heat or solar energy directly into a useful form of electric energy
      *Hans Coler* - inventor of two devices by which it is electrical energy may be derived without a chemical or mechanical source of power.
      *Lester Hendershot* - Fuelless Motor
      *Ivor Newberry* - the best efficient vehicles on low cost which consumes low fuel.
      *Guido Franch* - Water to gasoline / gasoline pill
      *Tom Ogle* - invented a modified carburetor which drastically increased fuel economy
      *Henry Moray* - produced a free energy device weighing sixty pounds and producing 50,000 watts of electricity for several hours
      *Charles Pogue* - miracle carburetor
      *M. DeGeus* - Free Energy Battery
      *Yasunori Takahashi* - a major "player" in the electrical engineering industry
      *Floyd Sweet* - Vacuum Triode Amplifier
      *Stan Meyer* - Water Car
      *P.Tawari* -the most efficient generator ever, and it is only the size of a motorbike.
      *Denny Klein* - Water Car
      *Paul Pantone* - GEET FUEL inventor

      "The Energy Corporations/business will always shut down, suppressed, jail and even assassinate any Energy scientists/inventors" Solar power is one of the most heavily researched applications in chemistry world-wide.

      It says the carbon-fuel industries are squashing its promotion. If they can deny human-caused global warming, burying Nocera's is not a problem.
