CBS's 60 Minutes did a story on this new technology, it's a small fuel cell, or solid state engine, that efficiently combines natural gas and oxygen to generate electricity. The key is some inexpensive secret catalyst which would allow an engine with no moving parts to process the inputs. Each household or business would have a box and it would replace the existing electric power grid, which is only 40% efficient. We have abundant cheap natural gas in the US, with economy of scale, it's said that this would cost about $3000 per household. Be a little skeptical as many of these new energy technologies have turned out to be hoaxes.
