With the cost of hydrogen at roughly $16 a gallon equivalency to gasoline it’s hard to justify a hydrogen card

[@fladave99]

Hydrogen cost will be more like $30 a gallon and its output is 1/3 of gasoline which wil make it more like $100 a gallon. And if we cut gasoline use the price of gas wil PLUMMET and could actually PAY PEOPLE to fill er up which they DID under covid when gas use was cut by only 10% Hydrogen is produced by COAL The OUT PUT is WATER VAPOR which is the NUMBER ONE GREENHOUSE GAS and wil increase FLOODING, CLOUDS which will KILL SOLAR POWER GENERATION and cut wind energy WOW-GENIUS!

[@domkelly1972]

That's without grotesque subsidies from gvt. If you get gvt to actually subsidise hydrogen in the same way they do with electric then that price is easily half that. Add to the fact that the gvt truly believes the climate is in danger due to car usage then no price is too much to solve the problem so it proves something is not right. All the money wasted on batteries, and solar power would have allowed for super cheap hydrogen production. Ask yourself. Since the early nineties car manufacturers were planning for hydrogen yet for some strange reason they got no grants, tax breaks, free parking for their cars. California has had the murai since mid 2000's yet only 54 hydrogen filling stations were built. Why? I know exactly why.. when you realise why then it begins to make sense.

Back around 1980 or so, an inspector from Contra Costa county California stopped by our place in Knightsen, CA. He was driving a Chrysler sedan, one of those “K” cars if I’m not mistaken. It was powered by hydrogen. Probably not the most efficient as they were running a conversion on the internal combustion engine similar to a propane conversion kit. Of course the only fuel point was back in the yard the vehicle was issued from, and the tanks filled the trunk space. I thought it was very cool though.

It is a 'theoretical' unlimited supply. Practically, the supply is zero.There is no free hydrogen on planet Earth. You have to produce it. To make it.

[@user-rb7qu1rh2q]

So, let me get this straight. We're going to use electricity to split fresh, drinkable water into hydrogen and oxygen. Then we are going to use electricity, again, to compress hydrogen into a practical volume. Then we are going to use some fuel or again, electricity, to transport and distribute hydrogen to numerous sites, all the while using electricity to maintain the pressurized hydrogen, which will then be used to power internal combustion engines, which are around 25% efficient. And the cherry on the cake of this plan is that I can once again be held hostage by some corporations who produce and own the hydrogen fuel. Sounds great! But, instead, I think I will just continue to use my electric vehicle, which I can power, along with my house, with electricity produced by the PV system I already own. NO THANK YOU.

@jjbee9229 Yes, but you have to replace all the pipes with safer ones, and governments have shyed away from these costs. Also, hydrogen fuel is much less efficient than BEV. That's currently one of the main arguments against for cars. The UK government only intends to build hydrogen infrastructure for Articulated vehicles (commercial haulage) to avoid the costs of petrol station conversion. Many countries will do the same, especially now solid state batteries are in Toyota cars already (700 miles range). Diamond batteries will be even better.

Bottom line is hydrogen is promising especially when tied to nuclear. Future battery technology is also promising, again when tied to nuclear so you can build a grid powerful enough to support the additional drain. And there are even other technologies not yet even being discussed. One or all of these will eventually be advanced enough to actually replace ICE engines, but nothing is there yet. The key is not to stop trying, but also don't artificially force the change over before it is ready. When a new technology is actually a better solution it will be adopted because it will make sense. Today some people's life styles are perfectly with BEVs, they should buy them and use them. For others it isn't so don't try to force them because it is right for you. Instead of telling people don't waste your time working on or discussing other technology because I know the right answer isn't only foolish, but defies logic and scientific methods. Debate, discussion and even arguing all helps technology advance, but using laws to force technology on people created resentment not solutions.
