Laying The Base For A Hydrogen Economy In The U.S. — Alan Mammoser


It's happening.

I recall listening to a panel on alternative energy some time ago, maybe around fifteen years ago. One of the panelists was a VP of Exxon. He said that Exxon was "an energy company," and it was already preparing for hydrogen back then (Toyota had shown an experimental engine).

He said that the obstacle is not tech but rather cost. He also said that the switchover would be expensive and people would be unlikely to pay higher prices. Therefore, without government mandating a switch, it wouldn't happen soon. And  if the mandate was partisan, then that party would suffer a big hit politically.

They had clearly gamed this.

The future of transportation is in battery storage.
As an energy carrier, hydrogen is a poor choice.
Scam alert.
