Yes. Of course. And I’ve also seen tnt, gasoline, diesel and alcohol explosions. Hydrogen is not the worst of these by far. There are many volatile chemicals and gases that are routinely carried on highways and railroads as well as being safely stored. Gasoline is incredibly explosive, but when was the last time that you saw a filling station blow up. I would bet a lot that the number of fires caused by battery failure in electric cars greatly exceeds the number of fuel cell fires when they are fully deployed. I see that the ship carrying EV’s finally sank after burning for 13 days. I swear that fires are a feature of lithium-ion powered cars. The hydrogen in fuel cell vehicles is benign by comparison.
That house was probably really nice back in the day, but you wouldn’t catch me in an up armored Humvee in Shively. Not for love or money, not even in the broad daylight! Louisville’s murder rate has increased exponentially the last few years and the west side has been home to a large percentage.
My comment was somewhat flip, sorry.
But there are problems with hydrogen fueling safety. Here’s a pretty good article.

Hence the late, great El Rushbo's "low information voter" pejorative.
Methinks the enemy feels emboldened now that he is not around to verbally manhandle them ...
I get the point.
My point is our infrastructures cant handle all eggs in the ev basket.
Regular neighborhood power wires and transformers are not sized so that everyone can be charging just one ev car per family overnight. Much less two per family.
When Joe and Kammy and Petey Butt... say all this crap, its the idiotic liberalism that spouts out unrealistic ideals without regarding any practical issues. And they areputting into law, legal deadlines where things must be a certain way, and it will be impossible to do this because none of it is based in the real world and the problems that exist implementing this stuff. They dont care because it wont be their job to implement it. They’ll just blame others for letting people down, it certainly wasnt their fault.
And while certain people have the ability to get and use solar panels and battery storage systems - which I am all for if you can swing it - thats a small percentage of people, and these systems require maintenance and replacement as well.

Preach it, brother.

The reason I bring it up on FR is I want my fellow small government minded brothers to think outside the box and be open to things like decentralized solar power. Just because government screws up virtually everything it touches doesn't mean when we do it it won't work for us. It's analogous to investing in your Roth 401K and/or Roth IRA for your retirement in a way that you control and can optimize for your needs, unlike broke gubment handling social insecurity to tell us when we can retire and how much it is.
I think a lot of people here already have this mindset.
At least a general independence type of mindset.
Its why for example I believe a higher than average number here have generators of one kind or another. Some have other replacement power backups of one kind or another.
Solar and big batteries are out of reach for the majority of people today. A gas generator is closer.
Its good to know the other options out there but cost-wise less and less folks have money to acquire them.
These idiots are a bunch of kids clomping around in their parents shoes playing dress up while Granpa Joe is snoozing on the couch, drooling.
Three more years of this?
We are so screwed.

What car? What year?
