Advocating for hydrogen should be accompanied with an explanation of:
- how to generate the hydrogen carbon-neutral or better with less loss than alternative-energy+grid transmission.
- how to store and transport it to fueling stations
- how to build out the fueling infrastructure, since the grid already exists for BEVs
- how you will prevent people from simply using methane as a cheap alternative for H2 production, which the fossil fuel industry will very much want and will lobby to make viable
- how you will practically refuel cars
- how the cars will store the hydrogen
- why we should invest trillions in h2 infrastructure when it's all largely unproven at scale and BEVs seem to beat it economically at a midpoint of economies of scale growth
Nuclear has an entire other list of issues/challenges to maintain economic relevancy as Solar/Wind/Storage costs plummet. And I'm a serious fan of LFTR and believe ongoing research for modular MSRs should be funded even as we mostly focus on solar/wind/storage.
