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]

How can a company never make a profit for over 50 years and still be around? How can it still find investors? FuelCell Energy is that company, and its continuing existence, like that of other perpetual money losing hydrogen fuel cell firms Ballard Power and Plug Power, is deeply perplexing. … [continued]

A rule of thumb I’ve been applying for a while is to look at what is succeeding in China in terms of clean technology. It tries everything that’s potentially viable domestically and fierce competition weeds out the winners from the losers. And on battery-electric buses vs hydrogen buses, and battery-electric … [continued]
