As global warming takes effect, and we have to think of more environmentally friendly ways to live our hectic lives, people are increasingly thinking of new ways to accomplish this effort. So, how about a house that's powered from Spinach?
Ok, maybe it's not powered solely by Spinach (it actually uses solar energy) but I'll let someone else explain why I'm talking about spinach:
To do this however, their design called for a house to be cladded with a solid-state photosynthetic solar cell based skin, whose main component for generating electricity from the sun is a protein called Photosystem I, which is derived from spinach. - Inhabitat
Will we all be living in houses like this? Probably not anytime soon but as long as my house isn't underwater in the near future I think I'll be fine.
