As the car industry’s largest hybrid pusher, Toyota says it is better positioned to just buy credits to close the EPA gap rather than “waste” money on BEVs, its CEO said.

    Let’s turn clean water — something already getting difficult to come by — into fuel! What could go wrong?

      Is that where you think hydrogen comes from?

      It’s literally the most abundant element in the universe, present in many forms in, at this point, practically infinite amounts.

      Most of it is harvested from natural gas these days.

        It’s where “green” hydrogen comes from — which everyone keeps promoting as the future. People claim “oh we can just split water using electricity from solar wind and nuclear”. Not considering that it takes a lot of energy to do that. Energy that you’d get better bang for your buck by putting into batteries.

          Oh. Well that’s a silly distinction of them to make. Hydrogen is abundant and refining processes are constantly getting cleaner, especially these days, no worries.

              I am shocked at how few people know how abundant hydrogen is.

              Here, this article explains how hydrogen makes up 75% of the universe we understand:

                That doesn’t mean it’s accessible to be put into fuel cells.
