The Future Is Now

As I was listening to a presentation on wind energy today, I had a revelation: the future of renewable energy is not in windmills or hydroelectric power, or even nuclear. The problem with all of these is that they require some lower form of energy to eventually make electricity. I think that the future of renewable energy is some sort of biophotoelectric power. This is the name I came up with while I was trying not to fall asleep in the presentation.

Just think - genetically modified plants that have roots connected to a biological battery. All living things conduct electricity, they even have electrical charges. We have bred plants to grow bigger fruit, to have shorter stems, why not generate power using photosynthesis? Now all I need is to be a genius who understands electricity and plant physiology and genetics.
