Are we just going to ignore the fact that hydrogen cars exist now in California, they work, the fuel is affordable, and the efficiency is fine? Hydrogen is use

Hydrogen is useful as a solve for the energy storage problem in green energy. For example, excess solar energy can be stored as hydrogen fuel. Also this solves the "fuel quickly" problem for people who need to drive long distances.
- nradov 7y agoYes we should ignore those. They are compliance vehicles sold only to satisfy CARB rules and are not otherwise economically viable. Most of the hydrogen is created from natural gas, which means zero reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Yes in theory hydrogen could be created by electrolysis with renewable energy, but the efficiency is so low as to make it pointless.
