Advocates of hydrogen often misleadingly point to its widespread industrial use today as evidence of its potential as a broad energy carrier. This, however, is a clear example of the equivocation fallacy: the term “hydrogen use” is subtly shifted from its real-world role in industry to suggest a broader, more … [continued]

A commonly cited argument is that surplus electricity from renewable sources, particularly solar and wind, makes hydrogen production both economical and practical. The rationale seems simple: when the sun shines brightly or winds blow strongly, there’s an abundance of electricity, potentially making hydrogen cheap. But this claim oversimplifies the economic … [continued]

In recent months I’ve assembled a long, long list of hydrogen bus trials that ended up with the transit agencies realizing what should have been obvious before they started: hydrogen buses are a lot more expensive and battery electric buses are much cheaper and more reliable. More come out of … [continued]

Saying hydrogen is abundant is like saying gold is easy to get—it’s out there, but extracting it is hard, expensive, and energy-intensive. The problem isn’t scarcity; the problem is accessibility. Hydrogen advocates often parrot the line that hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, implying that it’s naturally … [continued]
