FREE ENERGY for everyone has been available since 2012.
Rice University researchers unveiled solar-energy technology using nanoparticles to almost instantly heat ice water without boiling it,
using tiny solar panels of only a few square centimeters!

I was part of the solar energy industry many years ago before Reagan put a kabosh on it, First I was a marketing asst for a solar architectural firm, TEA, Inc that was connected to Solar Age Magazine. Bruce Anderson, who had been Chairman of the Solar Lobby owned both companies. After my husband and I relocated to Boston I became Marketing Coordinator for the NE Solar Energy Center (NESEC), one of the five Regional Solar Centers under the DOE. It was exciting and promising time. TEA had designed a passive solar home at Brookhaven Laboratory, Long Island that should have been a prototype for the building industry. Reagan took funding away and all was tabled.

The technology isn't really there yet. This was in lab results, real world application is another thing. The results unfortunately are not long term and would break down quickly. The other problem with solar is darkness. The technology to store the power is unavailable. Luckily Elon Musk and others are working on that problem. We can store enough for a house, but running a city or manufacturing is quite another thing. Rice has done some great work on making solar panels though.

LOL! Of course they're using it in real life. Already in use in third world countries to sterilize hospital equipment, but it's not being used yet as it could be. Like to power homes and run cars. Even the old 18th century Stanley steamer cars were silent and the limits of their power was never reached.
Like I already said in another comment, In 1906 the Rocket race steamer car, driven by Fred Marriott, won the Dewar Trophy at Daytona Beach, setting the land speed record at 127.66 miles per hour.
The next year, the Stanley steamer race car went even faster, but the car wasn't streamlined enough for the speed and went air born for 100 feet and crashed. The Stanley brothers gave up racing after that.
@birdingnut that's what I was trying to say. In third world countries it is effective. They do not use near the power of a first world country.
Cars just can't keep going that is the major problem with other forms of automotive. Tesla is making some great advances though.
I look forward to the day when we can have sustainable power. I am currently working at taking my home completely off the grid and trying to create a negative footprint.
@Fulishsage ?? Stanley Steamer cars back in 1900 were popular, no limit to their power, silent, no gear shift-just a throttle, a race car Stanley steamer car went over 127 mph in 1906. This is a way that everyone could have a silent, fast, FREE fuel car, It's such a simple steam device that maybe handy people could jimmy-rig their own cars to become steam powered, using small solar panels on car roof to heat the water.
WHY have I never heard of this? WHY are we NOT using this technology, turning it into practical, affordable and readily available systems for public consumption? WHY is there so much effort put into keeping this kind of technology out of the hands of Americans?? Oh,..........
sorry, forgot about GREED! Guess that says it all.

Well, if you look closely, it really isn't as revolutionary as it might look. It's a way of producing small amounts of steam very efficiently. But for example, you could not use a few square meters of solar panels or collectors or whatever to power a city or anything like that.
The laws of physics remain quite unbroken, and at larger scales, efficiencies of 90% are pretty common. What is unique about this approach, is getting an efficiency of 90% at very small scales.
Useful absolutely, in the right context.

R U kidding? People could drive silent, free energy steam cars, heat homes, power anything, if you scale it up a bit.
The old, inefficient Stanley Steamer cars had such power, they never found their limit, and in 1906 the Rocket race steamer car, driven by Fred Marriott, won the Dewar Trophy at Daytona Beach, setting the land speed record at 127.66 miles per hour.
The next year, they went even faster, but the car wasn't streamlined enough for the speed and went airborn for 100 feet and crashed. The Stanley brothers gave up racing after that.
