From Australia, a promising method to store hydrogen in a powder form that is easy to transport and reversible. One could say that we store hydrogen as water molecules, but this powder compound apparently can store and release the hydrogen with much less energy than having to electrolyze water.

I don't know if that will prove to be a huge breakthrough. But the point is that the US, having turned over our government entirely to the billionaires and biggest, most unethical corporations, is pushing us to the bottom of the pile in terms of innovation. We are literally on the path to third world status. We once dominated in computing, electronics, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and many other fields. We are losing competitiveness in all industries. The only field that is still fairly strong is pharmaceuticals, but that is mostly because our government policy allows pharmaceuticals to rip off American consumers.
