SO Bob here is able to do this because why? Because he's allowed (by virtue of his associative disciplines) to build and maintain and own his own homemade backyard particle accelerator and make his own raw materials-Otherwise you can't get any hydride because it's classified as a weapons material on accounta they use it mostly for making nuclear weapons, mostly.
Stated plainly and simply it's called assholes being allowed to run the planet ladies and gentlemen. Electric cars well, they're for those who don't know any better or care to in order for General Electric to keep their little private empire of rape and murder going.
