I'm not sure people with a readily-available answer for these questions made these things part of their identity, they just use language differently. For many people, language isn't that much about content, but about signaling aff

The Spanish Flu most probably originated in the US, not Spain. Spain just had a pretty free press and published much about it. Never heard about the Brazilian Flu and couldn't find out when and where this was supposed to be, so can

Well that March 2020 quote is still correct, isn't it? You as a layperson just think that airborne means something it doesn't mean for virologists (aerosol transmission <> airborne virus). So the tweet certainly was a typi

Absolutely, I meant that the gains made by electric cars aren't that huge that the inefficiency of h2 production automatically disqualifies that approach. (I do feel the need to point out that public transport saves much more though, 8

All true, though to be fair CO2 savings with electric cars also only range, depending on car and country (i.e. local infrastructure and means of electricity production), from 0% to 35% of lifetime CO2 emissions of an equivalent ICE car). h

Most people can't charge at home (because most people live in multi-story houses in a bigger cities and don't have a garage to charge in), so refueling in 2min at a gas station still has appeal.

Yes, obviously, but even then batteries are multiple times heavier. A fuel cell for this size is about 50kg currently, and a tank 50-80kg. The Mirai has a tank for 5kg hydrogen which weighs about 90kg: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x

OTOH, using the model 3 as an example, you have to drive around 480kg of batteries all the time, while the same energy (75kWh/270MJ) in hydrogen would only amount to less than 2 kg.
