      Joe Biden just announced a huge pro-hydrogen program? Is he paid off or insane?

      It’s time to ask yourself honestly: Why do you oppose green technology that happens to not be your favored technology? Perhaps you can reach a realization here.

        Because hydrogen isn’t as green as you might think.

        Most ways of creating hydrogen involve toxic chemicals that pollute almost as much as ICE cars.

        And the green ways of creating it lose about 30% of the energy put into it. Energy that could have been used to … charge a battery directly.

          And there’s one way to get to zero emissions. Just like a BEV. The criticism is just a lot of BS from BEV companies.

          Neither wind nor solar is all that efficient. Why hasn’t anyone on the left come out and vigorous oppose them?

          Because that’s stupid, and frankly it is just climate change denial at this point. Something you are doing now.
