And if the impurities in Gallium that mess up the formation of micron scale electronics are not a problem for the process, then 99% pure Gallium would be a lot cheaper $3/gram.

On the other hand, its really a fueled-battery, and the real comparison would be with charged-batteries and other fueled-batteries ... its cheating a bit to compare it with hydrogen, which under present technology really sucks as a power storage approach.
