Wouldn't it be worth letting the experts speak to us without the intermediation of governments, who are only interested in their own protection of excise duties on energy costs?
For goodness sake, not everything that is electric is harmful and electricity can actually be produced in a clean way, but it is also true that, if all vehicles currently equipped with petrol or diesel engines were replaced by electric motors, to produce that For energy, coal and nuclear power should be used, because water and sun alone will not be enough.
It is said that hydrogen is not good because it is a difficult gas to handle as, having a low energy density, it must be compressed at high pressures between 350 and 700 bar to be crammed into a tank in quantities sufficient to power a car .
Okay, that's the explanation, but what is the solution? It seems to me that man has solved even more complex situations than this.
Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, perhaps someone fears that it cannot be taxed properly?
Today, when you buy a mattress to float on the sea you find it full of printed instructions for all eventualities; why aren't those who buy an electric car warned about everything that goes into creating the energy to power it and dispose of its batteries?; and, again, how much could the car be worth in the future, if electric were abandoned? While the effort of those who buy an electric car is appreciable, I don't think the information regarding this solution is entirely honest.
