Let's ignore the world's martial troubles for a moment, and look at some good news: MIT has announced an in-house "Manhattan Project" to spur the development of new, innovative energy technologies.
Proposed technologies include spinach-based solar panels, new batteries for hybrid cars, super-sized capacitors for the same and more.
What's interesting is that this is a multi-disciplinary effort, involving multiple areas of the academy. What's sad is that this, on it's own, is probably going to be more effective than any of the Bush Administration's policies.
