Breakthrough Material Purifies Water While Generating Electricity

Yup, thats right, I stole this post from another awesome blog: Innovation News Daily. But, I did this because more people need to know about this stuff. Please follow the link to their site and have a read. Really cool stuff:
"Just 2.2 pounds (one kilogram) of the aluminum alloy provides 12.9 kilowatt hours of energy when exposed to water. This compares favorably to coal, which yields only 6.7 kilowatt hours."
"Most recently, he has proposed dropping the aluminum alloy into remote villages that have neither electricity nor clean water. Residents could put the alloy into whatever water they had handy, capture the hydrogen fuel, and then use the heat from the reaction to create steam, Woodall said. Any water collected from the steam would have already been purified and sterilized."
Really, I am not seeing anything bad here... Except of course lots of massive corporations losing out on lots of cash money....
