Quote from: K-Dog on May 07, 2024, 01:15 AMThe truth about hydrogen has been known for quite a while. But.............
Definitely it has its deficiencies. Vehicles will need to be designed with much larger fuel tanks and will have less range and performance. The H-ICE variation really is only useful for heavy equipment where you need the torque. In automobiles, going electric with a fuel cell makes much more sense. As a fuel for aviation it looks close to useless, except of course if Hindenburgh-phobia can be overcome and we bring back dirigibles. :)
However, IF enough of the necessary infrastructure could be built for the distribution and IF enough renewable energy production facilities making Green Hydrogen came online and IF enough affordable cars running either on traditional Li-I batts or H fuel cells could be built by say 2050, then there is a SLIM hope that we can keep the dieoff down to maybe just 50% of the population rather than 95% and have a technofuturistic utopia instead of becoming stone age hunter gatherers after the collapse. ;D
Think positive!
