You are not a conservative. Don’t give us that BS. You are obvioulsy a paid green EV lobbyist.

Agree wholeheartedly!

I'll never understand how the Dims believe so much double-think, like believing that CO2 is a pollutant while also believing that we need lots and lots more trees.

Waste of money hydrogen powered stoves were used by the brits in ww2 hydrogen fuel cells and other units cover what you need.

No mercury like the solar cells have cars go farter the the EV town cars.

The main problem with hydrogen is generating it. I could install an electrolyzer and generate hydrogen with excess solar power. But the round-trip efficiency of producing hydrogen, storing it, then retrieving it to power a fuel cell is about 50% to 70%. Thus, I instead charge home batteries and the EV battery for about 95% round trip efficiency.

That being said, I'd be interested in a HEV if they were made with larger batteries so they could go maybe 200 miles on battery alone before needing hydrogen. Then I'd have the best of both worlds (efficient use of the only energy I can create on my own for all my local driving, plus when the battery is charged I can run the electrolyzer to slowly build up hydrogen for the next road trip and get more range).

Check out Toyota and BMW and a few other auto makers Hydrogen fueled cars make 300 miles an easy deal cheaper than any EV car.
The EV cars are a huge maintenance cost 22K for a battery alone you can buy a lot of fuel for years at that rate.

Some commercial jets are flying with hydrogen no battery plane can do that.
