    Really waiting for hydrogen. Right now it’s not viable, but it feels like it’s the only option that could actually save us. Would love to have a tank in my yard for my house and car, or possibly through pipes like natural gas. Many problems to solve there too unfortunately.

      Not sure about a tank but I’d pay for a regular delivery & exchange of fuel cells for my house if hydrogen tech ever gets there.

      Hydrogen needs too high of a pressure (thousands of psi), and is much more volatile than natural gas.

      I’m not saying never, but it’s tough.

        I fully understand the drawbacks of hydrogen, and why we physically can not use it right now. But if we had that as the long term goal and treat chemical batteries as a micro-short term stopgap, I can’t help to think we would be a lot closer than we are now.
