i didn't watch it all. its no doubt much the same old.
hydrogen could be great IF they can generate it cleanly.
no doubt its less efficient overall, but its way to make large scale outputs feasible, if they can keep the storage weights down.
however those issues are much easier to overcome than making complete new electrical storage tech.

That's the problem, batteries, they need to be small, light-weight, high energy density, safe, quick recharge, high-current output, but unfortunately that's a dream which cannot be adequately fulfilled in the real world.

1485390 2022-04-11 00:59:00 It seems ...
Every 6 months there's a new, game changing, world beating batt tech announced.
Thats been the case for at least 10 years +

None make it to market , not in any significant way.
All just BS .

Still waiting for my flying car . That was due 20 years ago :)

That was due 20 years ago :) We had one outside my and next-door neighbors as a few years back, wasn't intentional, BUT Mazda Demos fly quite well, cleared a 4ft fence ( just as well, if it hit the steel rails it would have been "interesting") and one complete Property, through 6 fences LOL.:waughh: wainuitech (129)

its just solid state battery. everyone been harping on about it for ages.
yes it will help cars but still no where near enough energy density for heavy vehicles.
what would make a big impact is making them out of common materials. that could possibly make them substantially cheaper.

a flying car landed into the side of a bus yesterday couple of towns over. i'll see if i can find a pic. surprising that someone walked away from it.
