People also seem to forget that petrol is dangerous stuff to handle and
yet we do that without a thought these days. At least if you "spill"
hydrogen it does not form ground dwelling puddle of highly flammable
vapour.

the Hindenburg disaster being often quoted.

ISTR a former NASA hydrogen specialist wrote a book on that:

Quite.

I noted this short paragraph: "He ... even reconfigured a white 1992
Ford Crown Victoria to run on natural gas and hydrogen. He derives
hydrogen for the car from water in his garage."

America seems to have more than its fair share of folk claiming to run
their cars on water...

You have to wonder how he was generating his hydrogen and then storing it
to use in his car. Given what a terrible fuel hydrogen is in a
conventional engine, you have to also wonder why anyone would bother.


So in the future our cars could either be powered by electric motors
and batteries or ICE's and hydrogen,

No to €œICEs and hydrogen€�. https://youtu.be/l6ECwRnJ0Sg
