THE CAR OF THE FUTURE
In order to power tomorrow's car (1), researchers are trying to exploit the hydrogen-absorbing properties of carbon(2). Enthusiasm for the use of hydrogen as a fuel is growing by the day. The main reason is the advances in fuel cells, which are, in essence, batteries that use hydrogen to produce electrical energy efficiently, and without generating air pollution or greenhouse gases. Yet(3) there is only one problem that hydrogen enthusiasts have to answer satisfactorily: how exactly will this miracle fuel be stored(4)?. Hydrogen after all, is a gas at room temperature and is also flammable. Some experts argue that physical storage, as a compressed gas or in liquefied form, is the best solution. Others advocate chemical storage of hydrogen, in such fuels as methanol or cleaner petrol. Both approaches would require expensive investments in fuel infrastructure.
But there is another storage medium that could avoid this complication from occurring(5): carbon. A growing number of scientists believe that carbon structures could provide(6) a clean and efficient way of storing hydrogen.

TRANSLATION
ENERGY SOURCES
Energy sources CAN BE DIVIDED INTO RENEWABLE & NON-RENEWABLE SOURCES. The former are THOSE WHICH will remain forever SINCE THEY COME FROM NATURAL RESOURCES, LIKE solar or wind energy, WHEREAS NON-RENEWABLE SOURCES consist basically of FOSSIL FUELS which will run out in a short period of time. UNLIKE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES these fuels cause serious problems to the environment, because WHEN THEY ARE BURNT IN THERMAL POWER PLANTS or in cars, the sulphur contained in them, is released to the atmosphere and RESULTS IN ACID RAIN. SIMILARLY, the emissions of CO2 increase the greenhouse effect AS IT PERMITS INFRARED RAYS TO PASS through it but PREVENTS THEM FROM COMING BACK TO THE ATMOSPHERE, WHICH MAKES THE EARTH’S TEMPERATURE RISE.. DESPITE THE FACT THAT these effects are causing dramatic changes in the environment, this problem is receiving LITTLE ATTENTION from governments.
