Hydrogen has long been touted as the solution to cleaning up road transport. When used in fuel cells, the only emissions from its use are water, and it eliminates the slow recharging problem of battery-electric vehicles. It’s also been put forth as a replacement for everything from natural gas supplies to laptop batteries.
Toyota has been pushing hard for hydrogen technology, and has worked to develop vehicles and infrastructure to this end. The company’s latest efforts involve a toteable hydrogen cartridge – letting you take hydrogen power on the go!
For all its benefits, hydrogen is a bit of a tricky thing to deal with. Molecules of H2 are so small that they tend to leak out of most containers, finding a way to slip between other molecules. This can cause problems, such as leaks, or hydrogen embrittlement in metal components. Thus materials must be selected carefully to store hydrogen safely. It’s commonly stored as a compressed gas or liquid, or within solids in special metallic forms.

“the only emissions from its use are water”
Warmists have already said water vapor is a greenhouse gas (seriously).
We apparently need to eliminate all carbon dioxide and water vapor from the atomosphere.
call me when they have perfected Mr Fusion
But it takes a s-load of power to make, and that’s not even counting the mining of the necessary ores or the tooling to make the thing or the assembly process, etc.
What happens when you get into an accident?
Indeed so. If you look at the absorption charts in the infrared (heat) portion of the spectrum, H2O absorption is the greatest (many resonance lines there). CO2, by comparison, only has a few. Oh, and present day CO2 concentrations are only a slight percentage above the lowest they have been for billions of years. No lie, look it up. So yup, we are deniers. Silly science deniers, that is.
Yup. Frankly, it’s CO2, water vapor and methane emissions for which they cite global human activity to justify the depopulation argument (target 500 million, iirc) in defense of global temperature reduction targets.
There are only a couple of ways that can occur without making the planet uninhabitable.
The opinion of the woke Climate Crisis zealots is that of the official mission statement of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). All pollution is bad pollution and it matters not what is required to mediate the source. Thus the solution is the same as espoused by the WEF (World Economic Forum), reduce the population with the only argument being by how much. The enthusiasts want millions gone while the true zealots want the last person alive to be eager to complete the job!
Thus hydrogen is merely a stop, leaving Earth to the cockroaches is the best solution! Short life and success to the HEM (Human Extinction Movement)!
Wouldn’t want to be around an H2 leak, some O2 and a flame or a spark.. the pop would be fast and the flammable stuff would burn more spectacularly..like the Hindenburg...at least you can put out secondary fire with water.

**And the tenth time?
*Problem.
“What happens when you get into an accident?”
Hydrogen used in the fuel cells is a very flammable gas and can cause fires and explosions if it is not handled properly. Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. Natural gas and propane are also odorless, but a sulfur-containing (Mercaptan) odorant is added to these gases so that a leak can be detected. At present, it is hard to tell if there is a hydrogen leak because it has no odor to it. Hydrogen is a very light gas. There are no known odorants that can be added to hydrogen that are light enough to diffuse at the same rate as hydrogen. In other words, by the time a worker smells an odorant, the hydrogen concentrations might have already exceeded its lower flammability limit.
Hydrogen fires are invisible and if a worker believes that there is a hydrogen leak, it should always be presumed that a flame is present. When workers are required to fight hydrogen-related fires, employers must provide workers with necessary protective gear to protect them from such invisible flames and potential explosion hazards. There are several OSHA standards that may apply to employers who produce or use hydrogen.
dfwgator:
Notice the terms unseeable flames and explosions? That’s your answer.

Not this:
hmmm ... Where is the big hydrogen explosion?
“diffuse at the same rate as hydrogen.”
Advantage hydrogen.
Ford Pinto, right?
Unlike you, I am not in favor of banning nuclear power.
I see that you propagate MSM lies ...
