@cmdrsmain9711 True, however, hydrogen can be produced by electricity made in renewable power plants. The benefits of using hydrogen over batteries is that hydrogen fuel cell is a liquid and sidesteps the many issues with batteries such as long recharge times, need for rare earth elements, etc.

@DANNY35870 nuclear energy isn’t green. It is dirty. It must be mined. It is not infinite.

You are wrong. Hydrogen on paper may be less efficient than electric batteries etc, but what matters is it if it can do the job of fossil fuels reliably enough while being green, and it can. Hydrogen can be produced entirely with renewable energy.

Thorium is a fantasy promoted by amateurs. Uranium is not clean, it is finite, must be mined, and isn’t widely available.

It is entirely possible to make hydrogen fuel cell with renewable energy

Hydrogen can be produced completely sustainably by using renewable energy

@Cryptlord9999 you are presuming without evidence. Energy production can be scaled. Assuming you are not wrong, which is likely since you’re not an educated expert, if we need more green hydrogen, we can simply build more green power plants. Hydrogen can be green and can replace fossil fuels completely. Go to college before sharing your opinions

@Cryptlord9999 I don’t dispute that it takes more energy to produce hydrogen through electrolysis, than the energy you get out. I just say it’s irrelevant. However mathematically inefficient green hydrogen fuel cells are, it doesn’t matter. Renewable energy is limitless and so waste is unimportant. What matters is that hydrogen fuel cell is sustainable and adequate, and it is. A hydrogen powered car has equal or superior functions to electric cars. That means, hydrogen fuel cell is acceptable, despite its inefficiencies that you are hung up on. You may be thinking “why bother making hydrogen with electricity, even if it’s green electricity? Why not just use the electricity itself?”. Well, the reason why electrolysis-hydrogen fuel cells are good, is because hydrogen has some advantages over battery stored green energy. Cars using hydrogen fuel cell can be refueled as quick as gas cars, only a couple minutes, and much quicker than electric cars can recharge, which can take 20-minutes to an hour at most recharging stations. You have no proof that electrolysis is not practical

@Cryptlord9999 show proof

@davidbarlow350 all electricity on Earth can be produced with green power plants like solar, wind, etc. Fossil fuels and nuclear energy are not green and are unnecessary

@DANNY35870 you are wrong. Why use fossil fuels like natural gas, or nuclear energy, when there are renewables?
1
@davidbarlow350 no, it is fact and basic reasoning. We have the technology and materials to build renewable energy based power plants.

@artemis7605 you are uneducated on the matter, and your opinions on nuclear energy and renewables are not worth considering. Firstly, where’s the proof that renewables will not work outside of Africa or sunny environments? Secondly where’s the proof that electric powered boats etc will never be created. And if true, why does that mean the only other resort is nuclear energy?

@davidbarlow350 lithium doesn’t have to mined irresponsibly. Secondly, lithium can be recycled indefinitely similar to other metals. It is essentially a renewable resource.

@davidbarlow350 show proof for your loaded statements
1
@artemis7605 you are arrogant to make sweeping statements like “batteries will never develop fast enough”. Show data and proof beyond your amateurish speculation that renewables cannot work in the UK. Or that batteries will never develop sufficiently, etc.
1
@artemis7605 whatever opinions you have, pls throw them in the trash or recycling bin. You aren’t an expert and you are arrogant to assume that your thoughts on this complicated matter are worth trusting.
1
@artemis7605 far better understanding yet no expert agrees with you
1
What are you saying
1
@KadinoTheDumpling the reason why is because battery technology is limited. Batteries can be heavy, take longer to recharge than a fuel-cell tank takes to refill, and lastly, waste is not a huge concern for renewable energy, because the energy is, by virtue of being renewable, often limitless

It is renewable. It can be produced from water via renewable energy
