PIE in the sky ?

Very simplistic title ( not your fault) and article. The writer misses the point entirley. This is NOT an earth shaking OMG everything that went before is wrong moment.
This merely allows those in the electrical field to do what those in the thermodynamics field have been doing from day one. you have energy of various types. It must be conserved. What does that look like? The ‘new’ equations merely add the concept of optical output to the already evaluated charge output
Light work ping.
The way I read it the process still conforms to Kirchoff’s law (current in = sum of current from each load out). It’s the law of conservation of energy that is in question. Apparently, with the photons and electrons as output there appears to be more energy out than in.
