    Despite the problems with lower energy density and greater storage capacity required for Hydrogen powered vehicles identified in the video Kdog dropped on, clearly there is enough room on Garbage Trucks to fill your H tanks and still have enough room left over to haul away the trash.

    This may seem small, but there are a LOT of garbage trucks on the road in every community.  They are also commonly used for snow removal.  Obviously also, trucks which haul trash can haul just about anything else that is a solid, so it has even wider application.  Tanker trucks also are a likely application.

    Yea, either the carrying capacity of the truck will be a little less or the truck will need to be a little bigger or it will need to refuel more often, but it can still do this essential part of maintaining our current type of civilization. IF (it's a big if) enough of the various renewable energy production facilities are built and if there are enough electrolysis plants built along with them, just about all the transportation currently done using FFs could be done with H.  The main exception is Jet Aircraft, which probably is not practical, but that is not an essential system, except for Billionaires who would commit Seppuku if you took away their private jets since life would not be worth living.

    So despite the Negative Waves from Kdog, I remain a strong advocate for H production from renewable energy sources.
