More energy from the sun hits the Earth in one hour than is consumed on the planet in a whole year. Caltech chemical engineer Sossina Haile and University of Minnesota mechanical engineer Jane Davidson are working to expand the nation’s renewable energy storage capacity. Their mission is to put the heat of the sun to work creating renewable fuels from sources that don’t need to be drilled out of the ground. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”
