- smitty1e 4y agoSo, if the engine isn't designed to deal with embrittlement, one suspects a shorter lifespan? I love my two TDI diesel cars, and I hope that capitalism finds the diversity to satisfy the market for the electric-nonplussed among us.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoAll hail capitalism?
- smitty1e 4y agoCapitalism, yes; materialism, no. Do great work for its own sake, but leave greed to the godless.

- elil17 4y agoCapitalism seems to have no trouble selling you those diesel cars. It's dealing with the consequences of their emissions or ensuring that they have a long term fuel supply that is the problem.
- frxx 4y agoI am not a physicist but I was thinking this was mostly a topic for hydrogen storage. And it seems the article agrees here: "[...] most metals are relatively immune to hydrogen embrittlement at temperatures above 150 °C."
- samtho 4y agoFrom your link: > Gaseous hydrogen is molecular hydrogen and does not cause embrittlement This problem seems to occur when you have free H+ ions hanging around, not H2 that is found in liquid and gas used for fuel.
