It seems like the part of this technology that makes it economically viable, novel, and currently relevant is that they are synthesizing this material with nanoscale dimensions so that the aluminum is efficiently used in the reaction.

Jul 12th 2007 12:32PM Very clever idea. Frankly, I'm hoping that it works and catches on in a big way, but only in the interest of possibly reducing the RIAA's incentive to take folk to court.

Feb 9th 2007 1:33PM @Will: I agree with you on couple points, however, no need for something like this to inspire an angry rant. It may be true that current electric cars are not as energy conservative as people make them out to be, but I would wager they are still largely better than a normal gas-car if you are counting production and maintenance. Don't piss and bitch about electric cars, encourage them. If the research keeps up to solve some of the problems you mention, they *could* become a part of the solution.
And you are right, nuclear energy is vastly underrated and overlooked, there needs to be much much more.
