Re: "This is a major discovery with enormous implications for the future prosperity of humankind," said Barber, the Ernst Chain Professor of Biochemistry at Imperial College London. "The importance of their discovery cannot be overstated since it opens up the door for developing new technologies for energy production thus reducing our dependence for fossil fuels and addressing the global climate change problem."

I read the link, and all I can say is it sure looks like he'd be better off with a battery. And electrolysis has been around for a couple of hundred years.

If electricity were the output, it would be swell but it's the input - and we have much simpler devices (batteries) to do what's described (storing electrical energy).

Clearly there is some key information missing from that article. There must be something important there since some smart people are making a big deal about it.
