Hydrogen is not an energy source.  There is virtually no free hydrogen in the atmosphere, which means that to produce it you have to strip it off of other compounds, most cheaply from hydrocarbons, using power created from other sources.  It, like electric vehicles, is at best a way to relocate pollution production away from the vehicle to some remote location where the hydrogen/electricity is produced (which may or may not be more efficient and less polluting, especially accounting for transmission costs).

Doesn't matter what anybody says, electric and hybrid vehicles are better for the environment in the long run. Yes, the battery production is based on fossil fuels being used, but the same can be said for ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles. Everything on this planet virtually causes pollution in some way or another. The world just needs to completely steer away from anything that uses fossil fuels.

Absolutely loving it Phil, and yes, the tech is great! I am still learning it!
