2. 'Major discovery' from MIT primed to unleash solar revolution

"Nocera hopes that within 10 years, homeowners will be able to power their homes in daylight through photovoltaic cells, while using excess solar energy to produce hydrogen and oxygen to power their own household fuel cell. Electricity-by-wire from a central source could be a thing of the past. "

This has been a dream of mine for a while now.

So now all that needs to happen is to bring back the fully electric car, and charging that at home with energy from the sun will reduce dependence on fossil fuels that much more.

True, I took that from the article and the poll results as well. Though to me it somewhat dispelled the likeness of atheists to herding cats.
If we could spread the notion that we may all hold the same views(on the subjects in the survey at least) it may spark a sense of unity between us, and could aid in forming lobbies and groups through witch we could voice our opinions.

heh, looking at just the polarized results, the atheist position was generally in the one column (either strongly agree/disagree) where as the theist position was divided between the three options on the other side. so it would seem that the views held by atheists are roughly the same in most cases.
Maybe it wouldn't be so hard to herd us after all. Also with views as divided as this survey suggests, theism may fall more easily then predicted.

Divided they shall fall!!
