CNET News Covers Living Power

Living Power attracted the attention of CNET News at the Conference on Clean Energy. Here is an excerpt from the piece: "There are terawatts moving through our biosphere. Solar energy ends up in our soil and sediment," Peter Girguis, the founder and chief scientist of Living Power Systems and professor of microbiology at Harvard. "Think of it as underground solar energy."

UPDATE - This one article has precipitated a flurry of coverage. See below for a partial list:

MIT’s International Design for Development Summit featured in New York Times
Living Power supported a team at MIT’s International Design for Development Summit this summer. The work of the students on adapting Living Power’s microbial fuel cell technology for developing countries is mentioned in this article in the New York Times

Article Excerpt: " Sham Tembo, an electrical engineer from Zambia, and Jessica Vechakul, an engineering graduate student at M.I.T., slowly added a cow manure puree to a five-gallon bucket holding charcoal made from corncobs. In the right configuration, the mix might generate enough electricity to charge a cellphone battery or a small flashlight for a year or more.”
