The future of hydrogen power?

They have discovered a way to mix gallium with aluminum, preventing the aluminum from building a skin that protects it from oxygen. Now they can add water to the compound and a reaction occurs, since there is no protective layer, in which the aluminum strips the oxygen from the H2O, leaving behind hydrogen. This hydrogen can be used for fuel. There is no longer a need to fill up on hydrogen, as it is produced locally. The metallic left overs can be recycled to create more aluminum to be used again. It requires about twice as much aluminum weight as gasoline weight, but you no longer are dependant on oil.

Sounds pretty cool. Independent patent and solitary company with the rights to market the fuel. ...investmemnt...?
