Interesting article and I agree with some things being said, but talking about Hydrogen power as an opportunity that Americans have failed to capitalize on is ludicrous. Sure if we had a pile of Hydrogen to burn it’d burn clean. But all the Hydrogen immediately accessible to us on earth is locked up in molecules that cost more energy to break apart than it’s worth eg electrolysis of h2o. Perhaps Hydrogen can be used as as energy storage but practicalities related to the difficulty of building containment systems capable of storing it, the phenomenon of Hydrogen embrittlement of metal, etc. place it low on the list of energy storage technologies I’d bet on.
