This is off topic. It is about new research on natural gas. ( Methane.)
As you well know, it is
a controversial topic. Some hope that science will resolve the global energy demand with new discoveries that will satisfy everyone. Or maybe almost everyone. The title of the report is:
Study fuels hope for natural gas cars: Metal organic framework candidates for methane storage identifiedDate: December 18, 2014
Source: Rice University
Summary:
Cars that run on natural gas are touted as efficient and environmentally friendly, but getting enough gas onboard to make them practical is a hurdle. A new study promises to help. Researchers have calculated the best candidates among possible metal organic frameworks to store natural gas for cars.
