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.
