Oh, I would have considered using hydrogen for manufacture as obviously a separate topic. Do people really reject that idea because of hydrogen's issues as energy storage?
For storage and transport, I feel like the situations where is close to the best option are extremely limited, but I guess we'll see.
I work for a company that is keen on producing green hydrogen and exploring all uses of it, and the media and talking head narrative that constantly gets set is either "See Hindenburg, so too dangerous" or "Toyota Mirai was a laughing stock failure therefor all hydrogen is a laughing stock failure"
Politics and the media seems to be stuck in this loop of "one or the other.. there is never any shades of grey". the media does it i believe because it makes for easy narrative/story telling and selling. Politics do it because it simplifies their job.
People eat it up.
I get it, being skeptical all the time is exhausting. Having to see some of the opposing views as, in part at least, correct while not being railroaded into conceding ALL of your points is a Sisyphean task.
I despair for our futures because its getting worse.
