Hydrogen Stored in Safe High Density Pellets

sunbeam60 writes "A group of scientists are going to present their breakthrough in hydrogen storage this Wednesday. In contrast to previous storage mechanisms, this method binds hydrogen to a pellet which is completely safe to handle at room temperature. While bound in this medium no hydrogen loss occurs, enabling hydrogen to be stored cheaply for indefinite periods. When needed, the extraction of hydrogen is relatively simple. The pellets exceed all criteria set by the US Department of Energy for 2015, enabling a car to drive more than 500 km on a 50 L tank (13 MJ/l)"

I'm sure if Dubya hears about it, he'll personally head up an investigation into why the chemical industry should be scrapped as it removes the need for more oil and hence the need to invade middle-eastern countries.

[Assuming you're joking] He (GWB) could always just invade middle-eastern countries for sport while Pat Robertson is busy assassinating the president of Venezuela...
