    Losses stack up for hydrogen. It’s kinda of a bad battery and storage is dangerous. Fuel cells are bulky and fragile.

    Right now, it’s relatively viable because we get it as a petrolium byproduct. But that version doesn’t burn very clean.

    Once we’re using solar at home, it’s green, but you’re chewing through freshwater which isn’t ideal.

    Something like sodium ion batteries would be better is most ways. (Other than refilling cars in a gas station)

      They aim for the same production -opoly (I forgot the real name and I am too tired to look it up) they have now. In the market where demand and supply are what set prices, the one who makes the supply AND sells it is king.

      Hydrogen ‘is the future’ not because it is, but because it fits their current business model the best.

        Oh yeah, and we don’t have to change our own model. You pull up to a gas station pop out I spent canister pop a new canister in and drive off. You get to keep your internal combustion engine, No shake up in any market segment.
