for now the process is expensive," explained Professor Fontaine. "It takes a lot of energy to synthesize hydroborane, which makes it more expensive than methanol. We are working on ways to make the process more profitable by optimizing the reaction and exploring other hydrogen sources."Aye, there's the rub! There are many power sources that are "better" than fossil fuels... but they are all just too expensive to make into large-scale replacements. Funny how money is actually important to folks. =^)
Cheers to the first one to actually make a cost-efficient alternative, especially without subsidies!

(The public is being manipulated to fleece the taxpayer. That is the real industry in Washington.)
