frediverse.bsky.social @frediverse.bsky.social · 11/04/2025They shouldn't show the price adjusted for 2025 US dollars...they should show it adjusted for "hours at 2025 US minimum wage." That hasn't changed since before the Wii U. 000 0

frediverse.bsky.social @frediverse.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Hydrogen advocates generally are overly anxious about the lifestyle changes of driving an EV. Hydrogen solves charge times and not much else. Which doesn't matter nearly as much as ICE-drivers think it does. You plug it in at night like your phone and it's got plenty of juice for the day ahead. 300 0
frediverse.bsky.social @frediverse.bsky.social · 11/04/2025What abundance of green energy? US isn't even at 25% green yet. Hydrogen isn't a fuel. It is a storage system for excess energy. Aka a battery. And a less efficient one than modern batteries (which are still improving). H is better in terms of energy density, but far worse in efficiency. 300 0
frediverse.bsky.social @frediverse.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Then first we need miracle hydrogen, or at least an abundance of green energy, because making hydrogen now is an energy intense process, and that energy means carbon, which means higher net emissions. Nothing solved. 200 0
frediverse.bsky.social @frediverse.bsky.social · 11/04/2025You need to separate Hydrogen from water via electrolysis to make green ammonia. Why even make the ammonia at that point, the electrolysis is the hard part. How does hydrogen get to the gas station? 000 0
frediverse.bsky.social @frediverse.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Speaking of grid, that's another point. Hydrogen has to be transported too. Pipelines or tanker trucks. We already have that for electricity, and it works damn well. But, H could also be good as part of the grid, as a battery for high demand. Not as good as pumped storage but probably easier. 000 0
frediverse.bsky.social @frediverse.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Hydrogen is just a fancy battery tho There is much more energy loss generating H to store in a tank, then again to electricity. Much less loss in just...charging a battery. We need better batteries, not H-cars. H is good where there's limited grid access, like cargo ships. 300 0
