Thank God for MIT. Praise the Lord, etc. MIT researchers have come up with a better way to convert sunlight into usable electricity: SOLAR POWERED STAINED GLASS WINDOWS. Here’s how it works: Painted glass directs and concentrates light energy toward the edges, where solar cells do their thing. This approach reportedly generates 40 times more electricity than standard solar cells. It’s the perfect thing for ecologically minded churches.
