Bloom Energy Powers Your House with a Box [Video]

Over the past several years, there’s been no shortage of talk about alternative energy, and its potential to change the world, the problem is that most of it is just that — talk. Well, recently a report that aired on 60 Minutes showed one alternative that is not only real, it’s already being tested by companies such as Google and eBay.

Bloom Energy are producing tiny fuel cell boxes they call “Bloom Boxes.” Two of these can apparently power a U.S. home (and only one for homes in countries that use less power). So how small are they? Watch the below video, each device isn’t much bigger than a standard brick.

What do you think? Could Bloom Boxes power the future?
