Unfortunately it takes a hell of a lot of energy to recycle the aluminium oxide back to aluminium - far more than can be extracted from burning the hydrogen. While it does makes the hydrogen easier to transport, you're also having to needlessly transport a lot of oxygen as well.
It is probably easier to dissolve the hydrogen gas in aluminium for ease of tranportation.
The US pushes many of its laws into other countries. Australia for instance is being forced to adopt US copyright laws (amongst other things) in return for being able to export goods to the US.
Not until they can get out of their API agreement with Micro$oft which stipulates that that AutoCAD must not be ported to any OS other than Micro$oft and even then, must be a currently supported OS (no DOS, Win9x, etc).
Prior to this agreement, AutoCAD was ported to Mac and Sun as well as the DOS/Win3.x platform.
You're talking about broadband networking over transmision lines. I'm talking about networking only within your house, office, etc. If there is no equipment to pass the sigal past the electricity meter, then no signal gets onto the grid. Sure you get some radiation from the house wiring but there is no equipment you can buy that will receive and decode it. You will need to design and build it yourself. The FBI/CIA etc may have something but probably not because this kind of networking is so rare.
It's generally a lot easier to spot someone plugged into your outside power outlet than one in a parked car down the street. It's also a lot harder to detect by just driving down the street. We've seen people do this in our neighbourhood - laptop and directional aerial in a slow-moving vehicle.
And you should have a switch for it inside the house anyway, if for no other reason than to stop your neighbours stealing your electricity while you're on vacation.
Sure, it isn't the perfect solution but has a lot of good points and is being ovelooked because it's not as "sexy" as wireless.
It's been around for years but hardly anyone uses it. Every power outlet is a network connection and it's secure because the signal can't get past the electricity meter. Sure it might not be quite as convenient as wireless but is more convenient than regular wired networks and has about the same level of security.
But if the cameras aren't close enough, like the Safe-T-Cams in New South Wales, you get done for speeding when you take a shortcut between cameras. Coonabarabran to Dubbo is a good example - some truck drivers take the shortcut through Mendooran, cutting 32km from the trip and get "clocked" at illegal speeds.
Britain's quarter mile spacing is suitable but can't be done in Oz.

1998 was the last major tsunami. They occur every decade or so. The 1998 tsunami hit New Guinea and wiped out some coastal villages.
