@karlgunterwunsch1950 Absolutely wrong. Hydrogen WILL escape. That gas even goes straight through solid metals -- which makes it an engineering challenge. Any significant concentration of hydrogen in air will explode even before you've entered the room, BTW. Mere cosmic rays are sufficient to set the blend off. (Nitroglycerine has the same weakness.)

@advandermeer740 Not really. When a car is powered by compressed natural gas -- the economics and emissions are ideal. In Red China and Pakistan, entire taxi fleets are powered this way. Their exhausts are cleaner than the air they burn -- in such filthy cities. CNG IS the way of the future. Good enough beats perfect -- every time. EVs and Hydrogen do have religion going for them, though.

@ZERO-th6dd The price is non-zero, though. Electrolysis only makes sense if the juice is staggeringly cheap.

@alexnutcasio936 The Hindenburg has been studied to death. The fantastic heat of its destruction consisted of burning metal -- namely the aluminized paint it had. In contrast, the hydrogen gas promptly shot up out of range of human contact. It's THAT light. It would burn -- but do so while rising -- fast. You can see the effect during NROL-37 -- Delta IV Heavy's launch. It's on YT. During its very first ignition, hydrogen gas has already shot up the rocket, and then burned the skin - 15 meters up its side. (!) This happens so fast that you need a high speed camera to really capture it. When you look at the first seconds, as it rises off the pad, note the discoloration around the base of the three rockets. Such singeing happens with every launch.

@jacob476 It's not a renewable energy. The full process chain is no different than burning CNG in an ICE. In any event, these are pilot programs intended to see if it's even possible to scale hydrogen up to replace current ICE. CNG would beat this scheme all to heaven.

@tommywolfe2706 The machine shown is not battery powered. Any nickel based technology means devastation to the environment near the mine. Refining nickel is staggeringly toxic. Edison's original EVs used it -- and he could not get its price down... because it was so toxic.

@flycatchful That's mighty close to MY outlays -- right now -- only it's cheaper. (!)

@poppiarlin5612 Any hydrogen powered car has to be figured drastically safer for firefighters than any Tesla. Lithium is like Sodium or Magnesium. You can't put such fires out with water. Teslas have already claimed lives -- as the doors don't open when power is lost. Oh, my ! Responders just stand back and watch the driver cook and die. Burning metals are astoundingly hot, of course.

@tommywolfe2706 You've got everything wrong. A serious amount of EVERYONE'S power bill -- going back forever -- was for the transmission lines, switching equipment, etc. Yes, they sucked down as much money as the power plants. Well, their expenses didn't go away because you established a micro-power plant on your property. I rather suspect that the minimums being billed are still too low. Politics. Folks like you -- howling at the PUC. You'll also be the guy wanting power from the grid when the weather turns rotten for a week... or every dang night of the year. Buck up. Be an adult.

Spare yourself. Jump forward ten-minutes.
