I love this video!!!!
All the hydrogen shills can eat dirt!
Watch the video before commenting to me.
Is this supposed to be informative? If I go to a gas station in Canada in the middle of the night, it might not be working and there may even be a stopped car covered in snow. That’s the whole video.
Dozens of bus companies are experimenting with hydrogen. They won’t be as cheap as the electric buses, but you surely won’t be stuck on a stop while your bus charges (and don’t get me wrong, I appreciate how clean and silent electric buses are – but you can get the same with hydrogen). Whether it will ever scale enough to be viable for buses is still unknown. But no evidence in this video suggests that it won’t.
Further, hydrogen is not just about mobility. It is about decarbonization of steel as well. It is about decarbonization trucks that can’t stop all the time for long time to recharge.
So if you want to know more about hydrogen, stop saying it’s stupid and start asking: what is it going to be used for? Maybe for cars in Europe it won’t. But for cars in the US there might be consumers who wouldn’t switch to an EV and would switch to hydrogen. Ships and planes: very likely. Steelmaking: almost no competition for hydrogen.
Lots of hydrogen shills coming to claim this means nothing, when the biggest takeaway is staring at them in the face – electric vehicles do not require a brand new fuel-specific infrastructure and supply chain network to make it viable. You can charge at home. You can charge pretty much anywhere you have a power source and an outlet. In the worst case scenario, it may take a while, but at least you won’t be stranded.
That whole storage/compressor rig in the video is huge, and a huge energy sink, for so few fueling points. The bar for entry to own one of these stations would be so high, not to mention the risk of ownership and the poor profit outlook.
Can we get a ban on YouTube… Or something. There are so many terrible videos getting shared here.
I have been tracking hydrogen stations uptime and the wait times at them in my region and they are indeed terrible…. But this video is not helpful. Like when gas enthusiasts made videos mocking EVs or saying “solar doesn’t generate at night”.
