[Rockhounds] New "Energy Miracle" substance

[J Bryan Kramer]

First off Lithium compounds (with one exception: Lithium Deuteride)
produce no energy. They -store- chemical energy and convert it to
electrical energy. And this storage process is inefficient as are all
energy conversion processes. So you get less electrical power out than
you put in.

And none of these devices are even in the same ballpark as liquid
fossil fuels when it comes to stored energy density.
