Future News - Superhabitable planets better than Earth, Limitless Power Possibility with Graphene, Firetracker Frank on CA fires and smoke report, Hydrogen fuel and storage, Covid legal suits.

It’s looking like we’ll have some options for planets, once we figure out how to get there, as our exo-planet scientists are discovering that of the 4500 exoplanets we know of so far, at least a couple of dozen have conditions as good as if not better than Earth for fostering biological life as we know it. And could graphene have something to do with getting there? Probably not, but it looks like some researchers have discovered how graphene can get work out of Brownian motion, something the famous physicist Richard Feynmann says wasn’t possible..but then he didn’t know about the miracle of graphene..
Firetracker Frank gives us an update on the devasting Glass fire enveloping the wine country, a hazardous smoke report, and a measurement called the ‘vapor pressure deficit,’ the sponginess of the air, and how much water the ‘air sponge’ is holding, and what this is useful to know. A couple of stories from today’s future news, enjoy!

Future News - Mercedes Enters Home Power Market, Global Life Expectancy Climbs, Report on Toyota's Mirai Hydrogen Car, Taylor Barcroft updates us on the latest and greatest from Apple Computer.  

Listen Now to Future News 9.15.2015

We’ll soon have more options other than selling power back to the grid as first Tesla, now Mercedes-Benz, offer Mercedes-Benz’s Lithium battery-based home power systemus advanced battery storage options for our solar panel arrays.  These Lithium-Ion battery packs will also give us power when the electrical grid is down, during storms and other emergencies, and are a welcome replacement to anyone who has had to deal with the old-fashioned lead acid batteries. 

In case you’ve been wondering about new fuel options for cars, we have a call-in report of a listener who recently test drove the new Toyota Mirai hydrogen car.  One of the cool features of this vehicle is that it provides 110/220V electrical output as a powerful emergency backup generator, should you need it. Oh, I and did I mention the only exhaust from the car is water? 

We think you’ll also appreciate Taylor Barcroft’s report on Apple’s latest new gadgets, an upgraded iPhone 6s and 6s Plus,Apple pundit Taylor Barcroft watch software and fashion updates, and the iPad Pro, a bigger, more powerful tablet with an optional smart stylus, the Apple Pencil.  Enjoy!
