14. The giggling at a tragedy is duly noted.

I suppose of course, this is an attempt to sell fossil fuels rebranded as "hydrogen," a gas with an extremely low critical point that is incompatible with many metals, causing embrittlement, particularly over a broad temperature range, and one of the lowest viscosities known, by claiming, insipidly, that they are somehow superior to batteries.

The fossil fuel salespeople and salesbots here are nothing if inconsistent, not caring a whit about anything but selling fossil fuels as "hydrogen."

Both batteries and hydrogen are excuses for using fossil fuels, since both store energy provided by fossil fuels, batteries with less exergy destruction however, and a hydrogen explosion would be far more difficult to manage than a battery fire, probably killing instantly.

The stupidity of trying to address making the car CULTure sustainable with either approach is incredibly stupid, but the battery business is real, if tragic, whereas the hydrogen scam is just a series of joke demos.
