A friend and I are having a debate on Hydrogen and cars. Let me get this straight?
Hydrogen can be acquired by two means:
- You extract it via hydrocarbons resulting in a lot carbons expelled into the air.
- The second way, you split H2O which requires a lot of electricity, only resulting in more work for coal-burning plants which completely removes all the benefits of the "clean" fuel.
- Hydrogen leaks a lot and turns steel brittle.
So riddle me this, Batman. Why in the hell does anyone think this is a GOOD idea for cars? There has to be some company lined up to benefit huge from this, right? Anyone else knowledgeable about this?
