The holy grail of solar energy has been found?

House shure feels empty. Meadow came to say goodbye yesterday.  The moving truck came and went and it’s been powerfully quiet, so I am assuming that’s the last I’ll see of that little dog.  I kept a bunch of dried meat snackies around for her and she hoovered them back with every sign of joy.  [...]

It ain’t what you think you remember that hurts you, it’s what you remember that just isn’t fracking true.
