Hydrogen?

[SASKFARMER]

Just watched a program on TV.

Guy has created a company that is looking at a machine that can make hydrogen at filling stations across the USA.

$200000 per machine that makes the fuel.


11000 hydrogen vehicles now in USA most in California.


Nothing Out of the pipe and no mining of minerals to make batteries.

Is this the future.

Company also making cars and sports car looks great.

I don’t believe electric will be around that long and in 15 years we will have scrap yards of Tesla’s

Just wondering what others are thinking is it time to buy into this tec.

Just about every politician in the last 50 years has a photo op standing by a hydrogen car saying this is the future. But that's where it ends, cold temps , range and some safety concerns seem to be limiting factors even as bad as electric from what I was told.

California has been trying to make Hydrogen happen for decades. It ain't gonna happen. Too expensive, low energy density, insane storage pressures. Thumbs down.

[shtferbrains]

None of the alternate energy sources would be considered without government intervention.

Putin is not invading with EV's.

If we continue down the green energy path Putin and Xi Ping will dominate the world virtualy uncontested.
Maybe we are there already?

Hydrogen wont be viable for everyday transport. Its too leaky and can be corrosive for storage vessels.

The only place hydrogen will have a use is a blend with NG. They can blend up about 5-10% and still burn it in a furnace and transport it down pipelines.

I remember the analogy someone gave about hydrogen for passenger vehicles. Something like yeah let’s fill your 86 year old grandmas car with rocket fuel under high pressure and send her off to bingo.

What energy source are they proposing to use to power these machines?

[Rareearth]

Small, modular nitrogen fertilizer production 😀

Hydrogen is a clean fuel , but it requires an energy source to produce. It may be viable for Transport trucks and farm machinery.

Until scientists can extract it from water cost effectively it will be like fusion reactors, it’s 10 years away 40 years ago.
