“With internal combustion engines (ICE) on the way out and electric vehicles (EV) on the way in “

These leftists are amazing! They just literally speak things into existence no matter how insane and unscientific and we all have to live with it. Wow!

“With internal combustion engines (ICE) on the way out and electric vehicles (EV) on the way in “

"With marxists (scum party) tagged for the chipper and patriots on the way in."

To refuel your car: Pull up to the hydrogen pump, shove the nozzle in and pull the lever.

Sounds expensive to build and operate.

Hydrogen gas is notoriously leaky.

[PeterPrinciple]

cheap, but not green. You can also make it by splitting water in an electrolyzer using renewable energy, which makes it green, but not cheap.

a long ways to go on this idea.........................

Hydrogen embrittlement is also an issue.

If you think EV car fires are bad, wait until one of these goes up.

I read that in Seattle, or maybe it was King county the lefties decided to vote that new city vehicles be use Hydrogen, and the busses also.

Unfortunately they never figured out until later that the nearest hydrogen fueling station is in Canada.

on the other hand there are some interesting things going on in the Hydrogen space. LOHC has great potential

Wonderful! Now only if we had a supply of hydrogen.

Since very little free H2 exists in nature, it must be generated from our old friends the hydrocarbons - plus a large amount of energy to separate out the H2. So hydrogen is not actually an energy source. It is, in effect, a way to store energy for later use (in the Starfire engine for example).

Even if you’re willing to spend all that money and energy to create the H2, you would still have to confront the fact that high pressure hydrogen tanks in motor vehicles would create a hell of a problem.

Other than that, hydrogen energy has a rosy future.

You can also make it (H₂) by splitting water in an electrolyzer using renewable energy, which makes it green, but not cheap. …

1. Define “renewable”. (Any definition of this word I encounter from liberals leaves me concluding that they must want a return to steam engines that burn wood, straw, sugar cane et al.)
   
   
2. Define “green”. (Always we return to the lie that CO₂ is the guilty gas but H₂O is not.)
   
   
3. Hydrogen’s adiabatic flame temperature is much higher than gasoline or even natural gas, meaning that engine parts are in higher danger of heat fatigue and that NO_x emissions can increase a lot. Also, H₂’s higher volume versus other fuels means you’re going to have to tow a tender behind your vehicle, aside from the other storage/leakage problems.

[Mariner]

It runs on Hydrogen, therefore practically useless.

...and the Mazda goes Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

I had a 2000 Mazda Millenia.

Worst car I’ve ever owned.............
