I am puzzled by the antipathy towards hydrogen. I mean, if it works, what's the problem? If it doesn't, what's the problem?

- max_ 3y agoIt maybe bad news if your invested in Tesla EVs & Lithium Ion technology. As for the climate & consumers, it's a win win.
- jfengel 3y agoBecause it doesn't work. Hydrogen is very difficult to manage. It requires very high pressures, leaks directly through materials, and causes a lot of damage to materials. And while "green" hydrogen is theoretically possible, there is no infrastructure for it. Now, and for the foreseeable future, it's produced using fossil fuels. If it were left at that, it would just be a technical problem. The real antipathy comes from the fact that hydrogen is being pushed by fossil fuel companies and others with a stake in battery-electric vehicles failing. It's not "merely wrong". It's deliberate disinformation, and that's infuriating.
