    Ok I stand corrected, you definitely are deranged or you are literally a paid shill of Exxon, which in this case would be the same thing.

      So when Joe Biden announces a huge pro-hydrogen program, is he a paid shill of Exxon?

      Honestly, some of you guys are so deluded, it goes beyond projecting. You guys are seriously brainwashed by Musk. Some of you will sell out the entirety of the climate change movement if it means validation by a Fascist.

          Then explain the vast number of European politicians also supporting expansion of hydrogen? Are they all part of the fossil fuel lobby?

            Yes.

            The fossil fuel industry has enormous pockets. And politicians aren’t known to understand the technology they are peddling.

              “Everyone on the left is brainwashed by the oil companies. But me, supporting a position only held by one Fascist, is definitely not the crazy one here.”

              The problem is that you have almost no one left on the left that actually supports your position. Not many scientists either.

        lol we hate Musk. We dont like Teslas shitty cars. We do like EVs since they keep the air pollution outside of big cities and if used with renewable energies they are the best alternative to fossil fuel car travel we have.

            The problem with FCEVs right now is cost.

            First of all, we already have good electric distribution infrastructure, but don’t have an industrially-sized hydrogen distribution infrastructure. It’s way easier to install a new charging site than a new hydrogen refueling site. Building hydrogen out will be expensive, unless you’re talking about vehicles with a centralized depot, like busses or ferries.

            Second, fuel cells aren’t really that efficient right now, and neither is electrolysis. Due to losses at each step, 100 miles worth of green hydrogen is way, way more expensive than 100 miles worth of electricity.

            With more research, that could change. But for now, there’s a reason you don’t see many FCEVs.
