      The only thing I don’t like is that hydrogen still requires a network of refineries, storage, and distribution. The most likely source of the hydrogen is also hydrocarbons, today 95% of hydrogen in the US comes from natural gas, which comes from fracking. I would love those planet destroying cartels to go the way of dinosaurs.

      IMHO, the fact that it keeps the petrochemical industry in play is why hydrogen is being pushed at all.

          Oh, cool. Thanks for all that info. I had not viewed hydrogen as a renewable at all, but I can see how some portion of the renewable fuel economy could go hydrogen. I am still betting on EV’s...

          Oh, cool. Thanks for all that info. I had not viewed hydrogen as a renewable at all, but I can see how some portion of the renewable fuel economy could go hydrogen. I am still betting on EV’s being battery powered though. Reason being that I don’t think that hydrogen fuel cells have the compounding efficiency gains that we see in battery technology, year after year. But I could be wrong on that.
