As far as I can tell like a million people use them no problem. They need less maintenance and drive better. The limits they have only come up in niche cases, like “I need to cross the Australian outback”.

There was the one commercial hydrogen car, but I only remember hearing about it from southern California where the gas stations were, and I’m not sure if it’s still being made or they gave up.

Okay, but then why not just go with battery cars? You’re the only person I’ve heard say hydrogen cars will make a comeback, if that is what you’re saying.

You know, I don’t actually know how that unfolded. Was it NATO itself, or just all the NATO members? I kind of assumed it was like Iraq.

I mean, to make e-fuel you still need the e (which stands for electricity). It’s ~guaranteed to have lower round-trip efficiency and higher cost in a car than just a battery. Ditto for green hydrogen. Theoretically blue hydrogen or white hydrogen could be used instead, but it’s not certain how much white hydrogen there is, and blue hydrogen needs carbon capture and storage which will add a lot to the cost.

Gas generators are pretty much the same as ever, while renewables have gotten much cheaper than them. If your power bill went up, it’s some local issue doing it.

(Air-breathing aviation is the other application I didn’t mention. Battery planes work but not well, so it’s closer to rockets. I don’t know if anyone has tried hydrogen, but that’s where e-fuel comes up a lot)

Oh, yeah okay.

Just because red usually implies bad, or something else?

That would actually be great.

Youth unemployment might match, income won’t, and I have no idea about housing prices.

Never ask a lady/female/your mom’s house.

All people, even, since borders are themselves something that only exist because we acknowledge them. Appropriate username for that.

At first that was WTF, but you know, now I’m seeing it.

I’d extend that to dictatorships and autocracies as well, since autocrats only have the power people around them give. The thing is, we’re all guilty, so kind of nobody is.

Like, in place of natural gas?

If you’re launching a rocket, sure. If cost or difficulty matters in any way compared to raw mass, not really.

It was talked about for cars where density kinda matters, but you could put them in a fuel cell that way instead of just burning it, and I’m not sure if it was ever anywhere close to economical.

The cost probably will go down, and with any luck the cost of polluting will go up, but electricity is going to be more practical for most things.

Yeah, but power sources that don’t spew fumes are for limp-wristed queers. /s

Y’know, usually the markets price things in well before they happened, but there was a whole lot of hopium this time that somehow a large-scale Middle Eastern war would not effect fossil fuel production and shipping.

Edit: I don’t like that everyone’s upvoting this. Less regulation is usually better, and family is important. There you go, de-pandered.

There’s a whole bunch of other articles still talking about it, so that’s interesting. I might have to look deeper into it.

If the price makers behind the glut are under military siege or have their equipment blown up it’s academic, though.

I’m very anti-Zionist, the other guy wasn’t. 'nuff said.

I’d go through yours for things to misquote, but you’re a month-old sockpuppet.

Sure. Please explain that to whichever mod is the Zionist. Maybe I’ll actually speak out against it again, then.

I was trying to debunk someone pro-Israeli, so…

No, you misunderstand. I was arguing against a Zionist.

That actually got me a temp ban here once, as well.

It was even a nuanced “both sides are human” take, not Hamas is awesome. I know, I wasn’t expecting it for that either.
