Liquids which bind hydrogen and which can be easily separated again when required would be better. Batteries require enormous amounts of resources. The separation of the rare earths (separation) is extremely time-consuming and energy-intensive. It is better to refuel with a liquid that contains large amounts of hydrogen. At the next refueling stop, the used liquid is pumped out and new one is added. Iceland is perfect as a production location for hydrogen, as the island is ideal for geothermal energy. The used liquid is then simply recycled again by binding new hydrogen to it.

Hi ... You have to learn German well and do an apprenticeship. The job is definitely fascinating. The coal is mined about 100 miles southeast of Berlin and west of Cologne. During the GDR era there were 34 opencast mines with a capacity of around 300 million tons per year. The conveyor bridge was built in the GDR and is still working. Made in East-Germay ☺ Over 100,000 people in Germany had to leave their homes because their villages were being demolished ...
