Despite this blurb, I still believe the primary use for hydrogen will be in trucking not in cars. Further more, there are times when some turbines in a wind farm are turned off because consumption has met demand. We could keep those going full time and just convert excess to hydrogen.
- warmwaffles 5y agoThe biggest drawback of hydrogen as well as gasoline is the fire / explosion risk. I'm curious how the hydrogen will be stored for transport as the fuel source.
- Ekaros 5y agoBatteries at least types used in vehicles have similar risks. Actually gasoline and diesel are relatively safe and easy to handle fires comparatively.
