    It will either be liquid hydrogen or synfuels. Lemans might look into the former.

    It will happen by around 2030. It might reach 100% shortly afterwards. Also, hydrogen production should increase by well over an order of magnitude in 25-30 years.

    Given the rapid drop in green hydrogen costs, this argument is itself becoming outdated. We will just switch green sources of ammonia and there will be minimal if not nonexistent i…

    GM proceeded to ignore everything that worked at that plant (and still does, nevermind what that article says). They flat out refused to learn from Toyota even when they saw it upf…

    Not quite. The body would natural develop several types of cancer without an immune system to suppress them. People with AIDS will have short lives even without exposure to any ext…

    I think the Detroit automakers have the same mentality. It's almost like there's this racism belief that the Japanese could never have figured something out that Westerners haven't…

    That’s not actually true. Many AIDS patients will die of cancer due to a lack of immune system suppressing those common occurring cancers.

    Hydrogen is going to displace batteries. The mistake is with companies who bet everything on li-ion batteries and not other ideas.

    They're pushing for both really. The real mistake is to go all in on batteries without ever considering any alternatives.

    There is no hard limit except 100% efficiency (sorta*). As fuel cells are a type of battery they can eventually match li-ion batteries on efficiency. Combined with their ability to…

    Hydrogen has already found those fundamental discoveries, and much of it is the rapid reduction in green hydrogen cost. It's really a matter of time before economics shifts the ent…

    It's already starting to happen. It won't be something that happens decades in the future. The disruption of EVs by hydrogen technology is likely a current event. I think its time …

    I suspect cost of streaming services will increase though. Cable didn't get as expensive as it did overnight after all.

    Should be noted that that will work too. In fact that is the plan for most facilities. However, you will still need a separate electrolysis facility. With this you just pipe hydrog…

    Piping gases is also a solved problem. It existed even before electricity. I sound certain because I'm certainty right. If anything it's bit amusing to see supposedly smart people …

    Unless the destination of the electricity is also next to the local collection network the pipeline can be simpler. It's certainly not going to be a worse idea.

    It's going to be hydrogen.

    Over short distances sure, but once you're talking thousands of km a pipeline is way simpler.

    For a household size connection sure, but once you're looking at extremely high voltages the electrical solution becomes hard. It's a totally different kind of cable and has very d…

    Toyota is not wrong at all. Hydrogen is going to be the future of personal transportation too. EVs are basically unsustainable ideas as they require so much raw materials. Not to m…

    Just for added advice: Toyota also makes battery powered cars alongside their hydrogen cars. Tesla however does not make hydrogen powered cars at all. So without getting into detai…

    We'll likely use underground hydrogen storage in the form of salt caverns and expended natural gas reservoirs.

    For larger installations pipes are easier than wires.

    He's a fool to not realize the threat. Tesla is almost certain to collapse unless they start making hydrogen cars themselves.
