Comment | Mathematically speaking and practically speaking hydrogen makes no sense as a fuel. Natural gas beats hydrogen in every way. We get hydrogen from natural gas. We already have CNG vehicles. It is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Fuel cell vehicles are very expensive. Hydrogen is not a good fuel storage medium. It simply mimics the current gasoline/diesel/CNG/Propane infrastructure at a horrible premium. The math has been done. Battery electric vehicles with advanced battery technology is the obvious path. More efficient, cost effective, convenient(there is electricity in every building in the country) & very practical. Once you own a car with no oil changes, smog checks, tuneups or most other forms of traditional maintenance and has an energy requirement of a third to a quarter of a gas or diesel vehicle it is hard to contemplate going backward in technology. Hydrogen is a step backward in the goal of clean transportation. More costly in every way. Sincerely, Lawrence Rhodes PV/EV advocate. Running Solar & electrically for a decade and a half. |
