And in no area is America more primed to lead them than in clean energy.
There's certainly no shortage of companies working to make electronics of all sorts more energy efficient, but NEC and Rohm Co now say that they're on the verge of a breakthrough that could change things in a big way, and we could possibly see it in "practical use" by the end of this year.

Because these new storage systems have no moving parts, they use less energy and can be accessed much more quickly than moving disk drives.
It needed to operate at a cost of no more than five cents (3p) a day and would ideally capture energy or other resources.
