      There isn’t anything new to say. There haven’t been any breakthrough’s in fuel cell technology. It’s barely cheaper to operate than Diesel ????‍♂️

    My only skepticism of hydrogen is whether they can build national infrastructure for refueling. It’s very easy for electric charging stations to be installed, but building national hydrogen infrastructure is much more expensive. I’m betting on more off grid solutions.

      There is already a natural gas pipeline infrastructure in place that is more capable of delivering transportation fuel than the electrical grid. Fuel cells will be better in specific regions and for long haul and aircraft. Batteries are fine to tote people short distance in warm climates.

      @skyak exponential growth of battery power is already challenging that notion. We already have electric jets being built.

      @skyak The natural gas pipeline is inappropriate, because Hydrogen gas has to be transported at much higher pressure to make any kind of economic sense.
      “Compressed hydrogen in hydrogen tanks at 350 bar (5,000 psi) and 700 bar (10,000 psi) is used for hydrogen tank systems in vehicles, based on type IV carbon-composite technology.”

    Crummy video doesn’t even say how much was invested or give any examples of products or tech demonstrated. This looks like a “spin out” not a startup -major companies spin their old R&D into separate “pure play” companies to attract investment. The problem is that they still try to spin the tech to benefit or protect their parent/major shareholder.

Why Data Center Pushback Is a Unique Form of NIMBYism

Unlike solar farms or housing projects, data centers face a unique challenge: people don’t just oppose them in their own backyards—they question if we need them at all. On Odd Lots, Jasmine Sun tells Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway why the AI industry and policymakers have failed to make a compelling case for the AI…
