I've been pretty upfront that I think that the U.S. Climate Change Policies are purely about anything but fixing Carbon Admissions or Addressing actual Climate Change. The Policies and Money that is suppose to fix the Issues is really just a Shell Game to funnel money to the People in Power and their Cronies. It is painfully Obvious that Wind/Solar are not and Never can be the Answer. Carbon Credits are a Scam to wipe away the Guilt of the Rich for sucking up massive Resources.

EV can't meet the driving Needs of America do to the Whole Energy Density problem.....Basically we can't produce enough Green Energy to Power the Near 300 million vehicles in the U.S. ... and do to Energy Density conversion using the current Means to Charge up the number of EV's needed to replace Combustion Cars we will produce more Green House Admissions to power them than burning Fossil Fuels in the current Cars would create.

It's plain as the Nose on anyone face that Nuclear is the only legit answer..... I've been a Big and Huge Proponent of Nuclear Salt Reactors the Technology has been around since the 50/60's to some Degree. But Do to Reasons, Pipe Corrosion being one legit reason others not so much water is cheap, America and Most of the World took the Water Cooled path as opposed to using Salt as the cooling agent.

Another technology HTGR or Helium Cooled Reactors which has also been around since the 50/60's has also been in competition with Molten Salt Reactors as the Next Gen. And it appears that they have won out. Helium is a Great Coolant and wrapping the Nuclear material in Ceramics increases the safety factor 10 fold. Sure we still have to solve the Spent fuel issue. But creating energy and Producing Clean Hydrogen off that as a By product is Ground Breaking.

So while the U.S. has been shifting money to Lawyers, Climate re-education Cults and to EV/ Solar/Wind Subsidies it looks like Japan has actually been doing research and making progress to fix the Climate Issue. Oh well maybe America will all get in a Hippy circle and clap and Sing our way to a new Green technology as opposed to actually investing in the science!!! 1 Billion will not even buy half a Stealth Bomber and that is what Biden thought was necessary to fix the Climate Change issue. Doing nothing and saving that money would of been a wiser course!

What are your thoughts on hydrogen combustion engines? Particularly if we could make them less....Hindenburg-ish.
 
Best option....if they can be made safe.

Yeah, the exhaust is water vapor. I'm somewhat surprised that this hasn't been a huge focus for research and development for automobiles at least.
 
I'm guessing because nobody could figure out how to produce Hydrogen in a net green neutral manner making it from Natural gas ends up being less green than burning gas and add in that some research is geared to hydrogen fuel cells to run a electric motor as opposed to a hydrogen combustion engine because the power out put of Hydrogen engines is less than Gas powered engines. Well it's been a slow process for those reasons.

Still a lot of kinks to be fixed but in the end I would think Combustion engines are better because of less fueling time and convenience in most aspects and that it should be possible to convert gas engines to hydrogen. They will have to address the storage issues of Hydrogen fuel and the amount of space needed to do so. It takes up a lot of volume.

Probably end up being a combination of all 3 technologies coexisting..

I know Cummings is big into making the Hydrogen Combustion engine do able and also making the Hydrogen Fuel cell do able as well so they can be applied to different applications each is best suited for.

Hydrogen Combustion Engines are so similar to current motors with the components being the same that the learning curve for mechanics etc. won't be that big of deal, the manufacture of parts for engines will only need a bit of tweaking and as I said Conversion is possible for older gas powered engines.

I have no issues with Tesla and their product but to me outside of the Urban sprawl and the Wow factor for the Virtue signaling crowd they seem less feesible to me than a Hydrogen CE. Maybe the Hydrogen Fuel Cell never outpace EV's but they also have benefits as well being that they are more efficient energy density wise than Hy CE.

On the Flip side of moving to a Cleaner society... This is scary as heck and Oppressive to boot. It amazes me how the left will use any issue to take control of the Peasants and Serfs everyday lives in the name of Saving the Planet.

The consumption intervention targets are insane they include your diet, clothing and calorie consumption per day. And their Target of 0% car ownership is pure insanity.

They are not even hiding the fact they want to weaponize Climate change to control every aspect of our lives. I'm sure they envision some form of Carbon Credits earned daily based on our lifestyles and allotted to the rabble via our electronic devices that we can then use on material goods and travel.

How they plan on reducing Urban City consumption by 50% which will be near impossible without some form or Authoritarian enforcement. High Income Energy Cities will need to reduce their usage by 2/3 ohhh yeah that is going to cause upheaval.

The question is will the average serf actually buy their propaganda hook line and sinker and fall in line and be proud and stunning for giving up all their freedoms and rights and allowing the Elitist to take over as we slide back into a Autocratic type of govt system that is rigged and controlled by the few.
