      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.

            Renewable energy doesn’t have a tap, you either use it when generated or don’t. If there’s an excess now it can be used. But yea hydrogen fuel may be a waste or not I don’t know. But to say theres an energy shortage everywhere is just not true.

                I never said it does. I did say for example there are areas that generate hydroelectric/wind/solar power that otherwise would be effectively wasted. Hydroelectric power can control the flow partially to bank it for later, but thats not the case with the other two.
