A chave para revolucionar o panorama energético do mundo pode depender de uma história de amor improvável, diz a especialista de energia Olivia Breese. Ela detalha o casamento fatídico de um eletrão verde com uma molécula de água — uma fonte poderosa de energia limpa e sustentável — e pede um investimento universal neste potencial recurso transformador. "Um mundo que trabalhe inteiramente a energia verde, não é um luxo. É uma necessidade", diz Olivia.
