I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The most recent phase of the US war against Germany began with Obama's "cash for clunkers" and the bullshit attack on German turbo diesels. With turbo diesels getting 50+ miles per gallon, there was no reason to ever make an electric car. So, Obama's cronies took most used cars off the market and ginned up some bullshit lawsuit about turbo diesel emissions thereby shutting the whole turbo diesel project down. This created a fake market for electric cars that nobody really wanted anyway.
Sorry, but no. If you want streets that are nothing but rivers of horse poop and urine, OK. Otherwise give me a good old internal combustion vehicle, although I am fascinated by fuel cells.
I am enthusiastic about "drill baby drill." It's hard to imagine fuel cells becoming the thing any time soon. I recall Toyota saying in the mid 90's there would be a fuel cell RAV 4 in 2000. 25 years on they have a car finally but hydrogen is harder to find than a working Tesla charger in a Blue shithole. Also Trump's admonition that they're great but might explode. LOL!
The electric vehicle industry shut down fuel cell research. I saw many operative fuel cells at a conference I attended in 2001. Then, they all disappeared.
As JHK said long ago, trying to control hydrogen in a relatively dumb car public is a big problem. Boy, you think Pintos blew up when hit from behind? Imagine the Hindenburg every time an accident happens, or the reaction around a leaky “pump” when the local idiot lights up a cigar.
All generators that make our power, regardless the fuel, are hydrogen cooled. If hydrogen was as big a problem as yall say, you would read about it, daily. And they would figure out a way to blame climate change and Donald trump. The biggest danger from hydrogen is its inherent danger in mixing with air. The perfect combination and you barely need a spark. But otherwise, it’s relatively safe. Btw, because of its density is why we use it to cool generators. It’s more efficient that the generator’s rotor spin in a gas much lighter than air, or anything else.
