Another step forward

Scientists never rest, and thanks to that we don't stop moving forward in our race against our more and more limited resources. I believe fuel cells are the energy of the future, due to its cleanness, reliability and efficiency. Yet, we could say that we are not ready for them yet, as for them to be fully operative they require a lot little details to be implanted, such as house-size Hydrogen tanks, recharging stations and such.

Scientists in London, however, are bringing the future to us by making the production of fuel cells cheaper and more efficient -see link http://www.theengineer.co.uk/sectors/automotive/news/scientists-develop-new-method-of-making-hydrogen-fuel-cells/1011947.article#ixzz1oXAqpKqE-, which will I'm sure encourage companies and countries in the world consider this option in the near future when oil suffers another strike, or simply threatens to disappear.

I specially like the way they have improved the existing fuel cells, because I consider it a very clever idea, and a good one, as it has also helped surpass a handicap they had, which was the series formation that led to an overall fail every time one of them failed.

Also, it brings the hope of near innovations, which is always good news. I am personally looking forward to hearing from them, as I'm sure it will only mean that we are nearer from getting free from toxic batteries and pollution caused by oil engines.
