Voiceover: It's time for Science or Fiction.
Item #1: Scientists have developed an organic solvent that can dissolve any source of cellulose at room temperature, tripling the efficiency of producing biofuel from plant waste. [6]
Item #2: Scientists have demonstrated a solar energy converter with 85% efficiency and project a cost of 3 cents per kilowatt hour.[7]
Item #3: Researchers have developed a catalyst that can be used in the conversion of sea water to fuel and calculate that it will function at industrial scale.[8]
