    .. in which case, you are essentially running on aluminum. why not just run an electric motor on an aluminum primary cell?

    Like the lithium borohydride, it requires more energy and chemistry to re-make the fuel.
    the byproduct is aluminum oxide, send it back to the bauxite plant...

    Yeah, you might as well run your engine on hydrochloric acid.

    There is just no way to store hydrogen in a small container, with any efficiency. Lithium borohydride is a pretty compact source, but at the end of the journey you have lithium borate, and a whole lot of chemistry and energy is required to recreate the hydride. Some rare and exotic metals, like palladium, can store hydrogen -- which defeats the purpose of lightweight energy. Liquefy it, like fuel for the space shuttle ... it is ridiculously cold, and explosively boils if you look at it wrong. Or compress it, for a very short ride before another fill-up is needed. Or you can tow a zeppelin on a long umbilical leash.

    note @IAMAL_PHARIUS 's cetane molecule up there. it has sixteen carbons in it. works great in your old antique diesel Mercedes.

    the name 'cetane' for that molecule is a nod to the whaling industry, the original source of those lovely biological oils. palmitic acid is the corresponding 16-carbon acid ... they are not merely from whales and palm nuts, these oils are widespread in nature.
    the biggest objection to using e.g. olive oil to power your car is that bio-oils contain other gunk that clogs pumps and plumbing, and encourages the growth of oil-loving bacteria and fungi. diesel injectors squirt the oil thru near-microscopic holes into the combustion chamber, can be fouled by small particles, and are hard to clean.
    (and of course, that is why used cooking oil is transesterified to make biodiesel, even though it would sort-of work without modification)

    combine 2 ethanol molecules to make butanol, and it is even better. the longer the carbon chain, the more like an oil or wax it is.
    among the alcohols, butanol may be closest to a drop-in replacement for octane. no need to re-tune your engine, or worry about corrosion.

    The laws of thermodynamics still apply. To reverse the process of making CO2, you must expend a lot of energy. More energy than you produced burning the carbon.
    The carbon we burn today was stored sunlight from photosynthesis in a forest or a swamp full of green slime algae. (or if you're a fan of 'abiotic' carbon, it was ??? energy left over from planet formation) ... but it's silly to think it makes sense to reverse the process and turn CO2 back into hydrocarbons on an industrial scale. If you have a nuke plant, do something useful with it like powering a steel mill. Sequestering carbon is a fool's errand.

    We already have ways to sequester carbon, they are called trees.

    Meanwhile, here is some science for you to trust:

    I was kidding about Elixir, anyhow. Last time I did any real coding was in the '90s. I did some TMS320 assembly in the '80s, used Turbo Pascal at home, and poked around some other things like Forth (and a derivative, Fifth). I took a course in Ada (because reasons), but thankfully never needed to use it for anything. Ugh. And then in the '90s, worked for a while on a telco infrastructure project. It was mostly in C, good old K&R C, on an i960 ... cross compiled from a Sun network running Solaris. I maintained a make file for the project. Little sed and awk one-liner scripts needed maintenance now and again.

    I sort of imagine Elixir to be like that MMI ("Man Machine Interface") interpreter the telco project was building. Unreadable, unwriteable, but the old telco guys could speed-type it..

    Since 2000, I got promoted up way past my competence level, and shuffled papers until retirement a few years ago.

    I need to log off the shitpost network and figure out how git works. I have this idea that it's like the RCS we used on the telco project, but every time I look at a git repo, I can't find the actual code .. just a complicated tree with a bunch of meta-information. Gotta be some code in there somewhere

    This needs to be repeated. All the above is true.
