    It probably has to do with some of the engineering problems with containing hydrogen.
    It definitely has a lot to do with influential people bandwagoning onto Elon Musk et al. trashing EVs

      Every tech has problems.

      “Oh we couldn’t possibly make an electric vehicle because there’s nowhere to recharge it”

      There are problems storing hydrogen but we’ve been working on mitigating those problems.

      Australia has $230b worth of hydrogen projects on the board. Do you think no one involved in any of those projects has realised that it’s not possible to store hydrogen?

        Do you think…

        No I’m not thinking about that.
        I’m just trying to reason between public sentiment and over here, trying to say that public sentiment has less to do with actual technical viability and more to do with random comments from influential people.

        There are actually, many directions in which people are trying to find ways to make the H2 storage viable for specific applications…
