    It wouldn’t. Hydrogen production from any source is extremely power intense. Especially so from water. The amount of energy wasted on hydrogen production is easily offset by battery production and recycling. And that’s not even accounting for hydrogen tank production, which is another hell hole.

      Not the mention the overwhelming vast majority of hydrogen today is produced from fossil fuels and not through electrolysis.

      Let’s not kid ourselves, anyone advocating for hydrogen as fuel is defending the continued existence of the fossil fuel industry.

      There are plenty of places with abundant green energy, and abundant water. As for the tank yea, but idk if it’s worse than lithium

        The energy is only abundant until the moment you start wasting it. Hydrogen fuel is a waste of energy.
