My wife is from China, I have been in Beijing several times with her. There are millions of electric vehicles in use there, everything from scooters to busses. China built many power plants to supply the required electricity. The air pollution there is so bad that you think you are in the middle of a forest fire.

A former co-worker had a Toyota Prius, last year she was driving it up to Maine and the thing caught on fire, luckily everyone got out of the car, but the sucker went up into a giant ball of flames, nothing was left, it was just a piece of charcoal in the road. She recorded it all on her cell phone.

For whatever “green house gases, carbon or whatever” she was reducing was put back just by having the stupid thing burst into flames. It was only a couple years old, it polluted more then my aging Dodge pick up truck with a v8 engine did since it was made.

Subsidies are just a vehicle for political payoffs. Should’ve ended after Solyndra.

nitpick on...
There is no actual ‘subsidy’ for ethanol, but there is a mandate to blend it.
(perhaps a distinction without a difference)
nitpick off...

as I always ask when I pull up to a parking space that has an electric car charge station - “Where is my free gasoline?” Then add to that they are not paying any road usage taxes (as they are charged as a tax on gallons of gas or diesel).

An upscale grocery store near me has free car chargers. Saw a guy hook up his Tesla 3 and hop into a BMW suv driven by a woman and leave.

Reminds me a bit of kids stealing gas from overhead farm fuel tanks years ago.

Hydrogen is not a fuel. Hydrogen is an energy transfer mechanism.

How is hydrogen produced? What are the effluents from that process?
