Ask him what happened to the Clarity FCVs and why. I saw a long line of them parked at a large dealer service center; service mgr said "We can't fix them. Honda has flown out engineers from Japan and we are going to have to replace them all." Honda has a lot of catching up to do.
This was a softball interview. The lack of true green hydrogen is the Achilles’ heel of the entire hydrogen argument. Add to that the monumental technological challenges of trying to contain hydrogen-a minuscule proton that relentlessly escapes from any container, fitting, pipe, or tube we attempt to confine it in-and the case for hydrogen becomes far shakier than most are willing to admit. On top of that, blue hydrogen is a mess, relying on completely unproven technologies that have never demonstrated the capability to work at scale. The entire hydrogen cycle being promoted by the fossil fuel industry is orders of magnitude less efficient than battery-electric systems powered by solar, wind, or even hydroelectric energy-not hydrogen, by the way. Most scientists agree that manufacturing blue hydrogen, which is essentially glorified black hydrogen, is so inefficient and carbon-intensive that it’s actually less polluting to simply burn fossil fuels directly as we do now. This so-called ‘solution’ is more about preserving the fossil fuel industry than advancing clean energy. The use case Honda is promoting represents a fraction of a fraction of the real-world use cases that heavy industry will actually require. While there may be some narrow potential for hydrogen in specific industrial applications, moving things on tires will not be one of them-full stop. The inefficiency, infrastructure demands, and scalability issues make hydrogen a non-starter for transportation compared to battery-electric solutions, which are already far ahead in terms of feasibility and adoption.
Hydrogen is the solution for heavy machinery (construction and farm), heavy transportation and inner City transport of people. Hyundai has been testing its hydrogen trucks here in Europe for the past 8 years
Green Hydrogen efficiency for solar panel/windmill trough electrolyses, compression, distribution, charging, fuel cell to motor to the road is about 35%. The BEV efficiency solar panel to road is about 85%. And with the Tesla rolling out 1200 kW charging for their trucks I don't see any reason why hydrogen technology can be of any interest for the trucking industrie.
th-cam.com/video/ksWGI3hdgwY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Sl2-rabnZObob78R I liked the show. The subject about Tesla having the most deaths has been DEBUNKED. I watched this video on it.let me know what you think.
Happy Holidays!
You can’t beat electric trucks if you watch the Electric trucker on TH-cam I think he’s from Germany and he’s definitely worth watching

And Joe knows it!

Hydrogen fuel cell range extender, instead of gas range extender…interesting.

Hey, nothing’s going on today, so take a day. Or, maybe post some irrelevant hydrogen crapola . . .

They should look at Charbone Hydrogen Corp- They split water, not fossil fuels. And they're using hydro power to do it.
