   Hi Charles,

   They have come a long way in safely storing Hydrogen gas, since the days of   
   the big blimps!   
      
   And Hydrogen seems to be one of the ways to go for storing and transporting   
   energy in the future. It has a 3 times higher energy density than petrol, its   
   exaust gas is just pure water, no CO2. Unless there is a big breakthrough in   
   battery technology, you can't use it for for instance airplanes. They are just   
   to heavy, and it costs too much time to recharge them. Hydrogen would work for   
   airplanes. And also for road transport, where you have to travel long   
   distances, and recharging for hours isn't an option...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
