Seems to me that they've taken their electrochemist out back and shot him. It's particularly funny that they conveniently can't measure spikes in power, where most of the energy could be entering the system!
Let's see, water, carbonate, and electricity; surely Faraday would have seen this 200 years ago?
ROTFLMAO!
Also, why wasn't this published in Science or Nature first? My favorite quote is "We have a multidisciplinary team working on this, and we're baffled!"
LOL!
