What a breath of fresh air to hear Gerald echo what I have been saying to all those trying to hang on to the past rather than embracing the future. It is time to wake up before it is too late

If I owe the fossil plant and still make all the money, me and my friends in politics will not allow you to do that until someone makles me an offer I cannot refuse.

Hydrogen for any form of transportation makes no sense. Before it becomes viable battery technology will overtake and become the primary source of energy. The only question will be what form will those batteries take.

A friend of mine swears that hydrogen will be the next cleaner energy source, mainly because he went on a road trip five years ago in a Tesla and said it was ridiculous to sit around for 45 minutes to get enough charge to get where they were going. All the new tech coming out in batteries will not change his mind. A completely untried, no infrastructure, theoretical fuel, is better than his 5 year old experience with a electrified car.....

There might be a case for hydrogen with transport ships and maybe flight .

@@michaels6331 My wife and I drove earlier this year from Anaheim California to Port Angelus Washington and back in a week. a trip of 2,500 miles in my Model Y. I never waited for charging, every 2 to 4 hours I plugged in when we needed to take care of human needs. Car was always waiting for us not the other way around. A trip not possible in a hydrogen car but even if you could the current cost for hydrogen is $36 per kg and a fill up takes 5 kg, cost > $1,440 my total supercharging cost was $283. Ask your friend how much his time is worth. Is it far more than $100 per hour, assuming there is no need for bathroom breaks?

It's really important. People are making bad decisions and getting locked into outdated technology because they are listening to misinformation from the gas and oil lobby. It is very sad.

Oil companies have a lot of money for political lobbying and suits their aims to maximise profits whilst costs fall on individuals and taxpayers
