- NickM 6y agoI mean, that's a cool idea, but if the goal is to reach long-term sustainability then that still kinda seems like a dead end, no? Even in the best case scenario where nothing goes wrong and we're not emitting CO2, eventually we'll run out of oil, and then we're back to square one, only now we're stuck in a local maxima having already invested a bunch of resources into H2 tech, infrastructure, vehicles, etc.
