Boron: A Better Energy Carrier Than Hydrogen?

Hello -

Probably very off-topic (more about power plants?), but what do you think?

BORON: A BETTER ENERGY CARRIER THAN HYDROGEN?

Although they have a much taller first step, boron power systems promise to provide emission-free energy from smaller reservoirs than hydrogen can, using fireproof substances. Boria's high specific binding energy and the undemanding nature as cargoes of both it and elemental boron means they will convey energy lightly and compactly, even in small shipments
