60 Minutes had an interesting report on Bloom Energy who claims they can replace the big power plants and the electricity grid with their new Bloom Box technology.  Made from baked beach sand and ink,  its a new kind of fuel cell with no need for burning or combustion to create energy, clean energy.  Sound too good to be true?  Fed Ex, Google, Wal-Mart and Staples are all currently using the Bloom Box.  It is obvious that clean energy technology is the new gold rush for the 21st century and Bloom may hold the holy grail.  Of course there are going to be skeptics to any new technology in the clean energy space claiming to have all the solutions but I also applaud Bloom’s vision and am hopeful that through human ingenuity and science we will create alternative energy solutions that will solve many of today’s challenges in the near future.
