Just because hydrogen is mostly produced from carbon sources right now doesn’t mean it would be with significant scaling of hydrogen as a fuel source, it could be easily produced from electrolysis of water from renewable sources if the investment was there, but you still have the energy costs to produce it

- robbiep 5y agoWe’re talking about a situation where big investments in lithium batteries have lead to a possible massive increase in the cost of lithium production, and you’re assuming we wouldn’t see similar enhancements in hydrogen production - electrolysis is one route but some of the catalytic pathways are showing some outrageous experimental efficiencies. Dream a little, that’s the subthread I started and the thread you’re necessitated to respond to if you want to have a productive discussion
