It's not that there's a big debunking article, but rather people have used hydrogen for decades and not encountered those problems. For instance, hydrogen pipelines existed since the 1930s, showing the problem is eminently solvable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_pipeline_transport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_pipeline_transport
- maxharris 6y agoFrom the article you linked to: "For process metal piping at pressures up to 7,000 psi (48 MPa), high-purity stainless steel piping with a maximum hardness of 80 HRB is preferred. Composite pipes are assessed like: carbon fiber structure with fiberglass overlay perfluoroalkoxy (PFA, MFA) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP)" All of these are expensive options compared to battery electric technology, which leverages widespread infrastructure (think electric power lines!), as well as rapidly decling costs (see Tesla's Battery Day announcement on 9/22/2020).
