1) How is it more polluting if it is hydrolyzed using things like wind generators like planned in Newfoundland?
2) There are huge reservoirs of white hydrogen being discovered all around the world in the last few years. A massive one in Europe just recently.
3) It isn't about efficiency of storage, it's about distribution; but most of EV ostriches don't want to hear that.
We have existing models and distribution networks to move hydrogen. But 80% of the world can't even reliably distribute electricity reliably and continually for existing needs. But then again, the EV religion is all about the privileged class who are the only ones who can really afford battery cars right now. They don't care or even think about what others outside their social class think or can afford, never mind poorer countries who won't be able to build out the kind of power grids needed for battery vehicles. And they certainly don't think about transport of goods, or should I say the lack of transport. Due to trucks that will require half their rated weight load going to batteries to handle the kind of torque they require. That means more trucks to make up for the lost volume. Again, why think ahead when in their happy lives they only ever had to think about the happy path. No hard thinking about places that can't support their ridiculous world views.
Toyota (largest car maker in the world) and quite a number of other large companies still believe quite strongly in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. And there are findings of huge reserves of white hydrogen around the world, and green hydrogen facilities are in planning stages or being built to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. The EU will be mandating that hydrogen filling stations be built at least every 200km on highways. The EU and China are both pushing for more hydrogen vehicles. And no wonder, we already have ways to distribute it via existing distribution models and networks, ALL over the world. As opposed to electricity distribution which is just meeting demands today in only the highly industrialized areas of the world; that is, maybe 20% of the world's population. All the rest? So bad that daily blackouts are so common they are even scheduled (like in India).
So drinkypoo, you need to give your head a shake or get it out of your ass. It's people like you and your idol, Musk, that are preventing the world from moving on to other technologies that can actually end reliance on ICE vehicles.
