Hydrogen as a fuel source is terrible, regardless of the amount of infrastructure surrounding it. It leaks like literally nothing else, you need to generate it (meaning it’s essentially energy storage), and the result of the two facts mean that it’s a horribly wasteful way to propel a car. The only reasons it’s an effective rocket fuel are because NASA doesn’t need to store it long-term and the savings you get from a traditional battery are far-outweighed by the benefits of a lighter load the further along you get.
This hype around H fuel is absolutely fucking batshit.
No it’s not, this is like complaining that EVs suck back in the day because they used lead-acid batteries… that’s what you and the rest of the anti-hydrogen groups are pissy about. It’s new tech, and has it’s place in renewables.
I think you lack important knowledge about the fundamental physical limitations of storing hydrogen.
For the record, I’m a transhumanist. New tech doesn’t scare me, and lackluster present performance isn’t something I view as a bad sign when considering the potential of researching new tech. I think you’re emotionally invested in something you personally view as the future, like solar roadways or the hyperloop. In my community, it’s seen as virtuous to be able to notice and admit when you’re wrong. I think more should do the same.
Yes because it’s hard to do today, means it’s never going to happen. You do realize how many car manufacturers are quietly working on hydrogen ICE cars right?
You’re the guy who told the wright brothers that flying was physically impossible.
