Well, if there's one thing we're not short of in this country, it's snow. But could we be putting that snow to better use? Is there a way we could churn it into something more?

 We're all looking for ways nowadays to find renewable sources of energy. And now, there's a new invention that generates electricity from falling snow.

 And it's pretty cheap to do it too.

 The research was done by scientists from the University of California in Los Angeles, and McMaster University in Ontario.
