Dark energy converted to electricity

In theory, dark energy be used to generate electricity. Given its apparent abundance, this could provide rather a lot (perhaps too much) clean energy. Has any research been conducted on this or any other practical applications for dark energy? (other than repelling galaxies ;)



Answer



Dark energy is not really an energy in the common sense and there absolutely is no project to produce electricity via dark energy. Dark energy is most probably a mistake in our calculations. Even if it is not so, the nature of dark energy is currently so far from our grasp that there is no way, even theoretically, to generate energy from dark energy yet.
