I seriously doubt hydrogen will be a viable long term fuel source outside of very specific applications.
Even with the best production methods, we still can’t store it well long term. It causes embrittlement and corrosion to metals, and since the atoms are about as small as atoms get, it’s very hard to contain in a pressure vessel without leaks or metal impregnation. Making it and using it aren’t the big issue. Storage is.
Critics of hydrogen are just repeating BS from either the fossil fuel industry or the battery industry. It is just a repeat of anti-wind and anti-solar rhetoric back when they were just getting started.
Good grief, no. OP pointed out some valid concerns, which you haven’t bothered to address.
No he didn’t. It’s just a bunch of random talking points and myths. He could’ve copy and pasted that answer from any of thousands of social media posts and it would’ve been nearly identical.

Here they are again. Which bits are myths? Please be specific, thanks.
We can it store it long term. It is one of the major strengths of hydrogen. Your claim is near 180 of reality.
Can you post links to reputable sources? I can’t help but notice your entire account is devoted to shilling hydrogen so I’m not going to just take your word for it.
People have looked at hydrogen for long term storage. There is real science to back this up. Also, you never provided any sources to begin with. So you are demanding a double standard here.

I am a big proponent of solar and wind. Both need to be taken more seriously. Both are far better long term energy options than hydrogen no matter how you look at it. So no, this is not more BS from the fossil fuel industry, regardless your take.
Then you’re missing the point: Wind and solar were heavily dismissed or ridiculed when they were getting started. People mocked them just like what you’re doing now.

Wind needs to stop killing bats, stop establishing turbines near rivers, and stop destroying native habitat like endangered prairie for wind facilities before it’s green. All these are easily achievable and cheap, but the executives apparently don’t give a fuck.Add geothermal to your list, both for heating and electricity.
