It is estimated that by 2050, around ⅔’s of the population will be living in urban areas.

Sadly, there are also states that are still fighting against it, often at the request of power company and fossil fuel lobbyists. While solar alone now employs more people in the U.S. than the coal industry, and is one of the faster...

By using neutral PH water as one of the primary components, these newer batteries would also be virtually nontoxic, which means that if they leak, there is no concern about acid burning your skin or damaging any property. What is a...
