That's great. How horrible was the process of generating the fuel to only emit water by the final link in the energy chain?

- akoboldfrying 2y agoYou don't seem to realise that that process happened far away from where we are. Maybe even in a different country. So when you think about it: Did it even really happen at all?

- taylodl 2y agoThe production and use of hydrogen in transportation requires 4x more energy from the electric grid than EVs - and there are people claiming the grid can't handle EVs (they're wrong - but that's another point). What the grid can't handle is hydrogen. Between Microsoft and Google battling over AI, the claim that the grid can handle EVs is being cast into doubt. None of this is even getting into the consumer issues with hydrogen - of which there are plenty. Hydrogen may find a use in long distance haulers and heavy-duty construction equipment (think replacing big diesel engines), but it's never going to get a strong foothold on personal transportation.
