$100 million bounty for hydrogen breakthrough?

U.S. lawmakers have proposed a more than $100 million in prize money to inventors that help overcome the technical barriers to a widespread commercialization of hydrogen as an energy source, reports Market Watch. While researchers have developed both fuel cell (electric) and hydrogen combustion vehicles, several hurdles still exist. They relate mainly storing enough hydrogen to achieve reasonable range, and extracting hydrogen in a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly manner.
