Hydrogen Cars Not Needed, U.S. Experts Say
from the other-solutions-better dept
With all the hype of hydrogen cars, and the amount of money that is being spent on producing them, two "energy experts" in the US are saying it's a mistake to focus on hydrogen cars as a solution to environmental issues. There are too many questions about hydrogen cars, and the same results could be achieved by raising fuel efficiency and toughening environmental standards. Of course, I'm always a little skeptical of random "experts" making statements like this. It often turns out that those experts have their own biases that they're not revealing.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Though, hydrogen might be a good way to fast-cook meat, now that I think about it.

Re: Forests of Fire
Except that there is one problem with this. According to my experience in High-school and College chemistry, Hydrogen, at room temperature, is a gas. And in order to "soak" someone in Hydrogen, it must be a liquid, at -423F, which would more than likely kill the person due to temperature loss than due to fire.
Also, hydrogen dissipates quickly, so in order to effectively do what you wish to do, the hydrogen must be compressed into an airtight area, at such as level that the human trapped in side would likely die of asphyxiation long before burning could occur.
But you knew that, right?
