New electricity source

Here is some slightly old news as I found it on a an old post but it is new to me so I though that it was worth a post. Did you know that we can now power batteries from your standard, everyday tree. It sounds interesting enough to me. It is not really a technology tip but think of the possibilities. Instead of paying the power companies electric bills, why not rig your house up to the tree you have in your garden. Not really realistic but amusing nevertheless. Check the post at the link.
