Green - An environmentalist community

Hydrogen tech has been around for decades, and it seems to always have had these same issues at varying degrees. To me it seems like a technology that in theory sounds great, but the moment you start trying to implement anything practical at scale, it all breaks down and becomes cost prohibitive. Solar initially had similar issues, but we’ve made significant progress there, when it seems like hydrogen has stagnated over the same time period. We should continue to research it, but I think our energy could be better spent by developing non-volatile battery technologies and making solar even more efficient and compact. I’d love to be wrong though.

The “hydrogen economy” grift was a major plank of G.W. Bush’s election campaign decades ago.

With that said, Hossenfelder often embarrasses herself by straying from her areas of competence[1][2], so I’m fed up with her.

A second or third death. I remember when hydrogen cars were going to save us all in the 90's.

Hydrogen is what the rich are trying to pivot to now that they realize they can't run a fuel racket if we swap to EVs
