1.5 minutes to refuel it and emits nothing but water vapor

See this is what the goal should be.
I saw a dude who to a Ford explorer and had it running off hydrogen and split it off water molecules. I believe it took like 2 garden batteries and 6 mini vats a tad smaller than 1litre soda bottles.
I know the dude. Het was oaidb40 million to sell it and have GM shelve it.

He won't even discuss it anymore unless we are both swimming in a lake beside a John boat with no electronics.
But yeah hydrogen should be the goal not lithium battery storage. Crystals have more free electrons. Use those fuckers.

Toyota has been investing 100% into Hydrogen and nothing into battery EV solutions. This is one I could get behind hopefully everyone else follows suit. Will end the Tesla though.
I'd imagine the reason elon went ev was bc of a tech jump in to mass production of hydrogen. They'll adapt but lettuce hope the time is now.
We're are 1000 years behind our own military

One potential counterargument to hydrogen vehicles is that they are not as environmentally friendly as they are often made out to be. While hydrogen fuel cells do produce water as a byproduct, the process of producing hydrogen fuel can be energy-intensive and potentially polluting. For example, hydrogen can be extracted from natural gas through a process called steam methane reforming, which produces carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Additionally, the transportation and storage of hydrogen can also be challenging, as it requires specialized infrastructure that is currently not widely available. Overall, while hydrogen fuel cells do have some potential benefits, they are not a panacea for the transportation industry's environmental impact.

I don't believe that to be the case with the saltwater hydrogen but tbh I'm not well versed either

This is what I think the blip is too.
The guy I knew could boil salt and water to produce a fuel to run an explorer. I'll see real quick if I can find footage

Not my buddy but Julian is correct





I knew about this 2 decades ago

Watch the last video and we need iceberg H20

Ammonia is also promising. There are already some experimental ammonia powered vehicles and existing gas stations and fuel transport infrastructure could be converted to pumping ammonia.

I'm not sure storing hydrogen in gas stations would be all that safe. It's not just flammable it's also explosive.

The hydrogen in hydrogen fuel cells is pressurized up to 10,000 psi. Spokespeople say this makes them safer than gasoline powered cars but I'm not sure I believe them.

But whatever works. If I can buy a hindenburg car at an affordable price I'll commute in the hindenburg.

Filling station it is
They had a gas pump on the farm with an in ground tank for filling the tractors that he used to fill his truck. I'm guessing when they got the gas/water out of the tank they put a gallon or two of fresh gas back in and drove to the farm to fill up. Trucks back in the 50's were easier to work on so I doubt there were any problems. Plus my Granddad could do anything mechanical. I have several tools my Granddad made for the job needed if he didn't have the right tool.

Funny story about my Granddad. There was a large shop attached to the hanger at the landing strip his brother used when he flew to the ranch. He'd be in the shop working on a tractor, bulldozer or whatever. Since it was cold outside, the hired workers would come into the shop and go pee in the corner. As the temp warmed up it got to stinking and my Granddad dug it out and put lime or something back in the hole. When it got cold again, the workers would come back in and pee in the corner again. He told them not to do that anymore. But they did. So he put a metal plate under the dirt in the corner and ran wires from it to an old crank generator on his work bench. The next time one of the workers came inside, he waited until he heard him going good and cranked the handle on the generator. He said the man screamed and yelled and ran out of the shop. He broke them of the habit.

Why? If cars no longer use gasoline and no longer emit carbon, is that not the goal? Do you just hate cars?
I believe that cars should be reserved exclusively for government agents. Public transportation and biking are more than satisfactory for the general public.

Speaking specifically about emissions, it’s not just carbon that’s the issue. All emissions need to be ended. Humans MUST stop contaminating their environments with unnaturally occurring elements.

Do you have a car?
