[Scientists around the world are
replicating Jamie’s experiment,
but on a much bigger scale,
in the hope of using it on a large scale
to fuel cheap, environmentally-friendly
power stations.]

What amused me about this story was this: Here's an obvious young genius; I hope he has a glittering future. His head teacher Jim Hourigan - that's HEAD TEACHER - makes a statement thus: ‘I was a little nervous when Jamie suggested this but he reassured me he wouldn’t blow the school up'... and in praising this clever young man, ends his sentence with a preposition.

I can't help feeling this kid deserves better.
