It's just amazing all the money goes in hybrid and all-electric vehicle research these days, but there are some major hurdles to cross, if we make all this work and keep the costs low for consumers. Plus, we have to deal with all the old batteries in our landfills, and whereas some may be recycled, they will not last forever, and the case will be disposed of together with the toxic waste in and around them.
Not more than a month ago, I was consulting with a foreign friend who lives near a Volvo plant in Europe. They were also interested in "other-than-fossil-fuel" vehicles run. As all-electric, hybrids run bio-diesel, and the future of the hydrogen cell means of transportation. "I think that hydrogen can be a very good thing if it will go, but by the time hydrogen fuel enters the market, it's not a big chance that batteries and solar cell technology is ready, then?"
Meaning, can run all-electric cars and the batteries charged and topped off with the sun. Okay, so right, why do it at all? That is to say, why do 30 million electric cars, with all the less-than-powerful batteries in landfills with all the light and heavy metal pollution seeping into the groundwater, if you wait until they are viable stuck, and you have found out the problems ? In addition to hydrogen then Tech will be viable, so to invest in research, not subsidies or tax credits to buy stuff that is not good enough yet?
Begin to forget see the relevant arguments against such technologies, the most important challenge - costs for consumers, and perhaps like you, infrastructure for hydrogen asked my friend, "and if so, what is best to choose the U.S. already? but not so many other countries, I think? "Referring of course to the reality that most U.S. households for natural gas that has many hydrogen atoms to separate hydrogen as a fuel are piped.
Even within 5-10 years we will have a low-energy electrolysis technique and you can disconnect H20 water - two hydrogen atoms, let the oxygen in the atmosphere. If a country does not have fresh water, it is not a viable place to live anyway, or they have desalination happens to serve these populations. Now, I want no vision for our future trash, but we risk killing everyone's dream if we do not act prudently. Plus very soon we will have conquered another hurdle for hydrogen fuel cells, and that is, we are carbon nanotubes and other materials for hydrogen fuel tanks for our future have flying cars. In fact, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it.
Thank you for coming in Energy Efficiency Reviews and read the article about: Should we wait and build hydrogen cars instead of expensive electric hybrids? , help us to Shared this article. hopefully useful to us all.
