Gee Rebound you should apply at Ballard power. They've been saying fuel cells are still 15 years away since my cousin worked there in the 1980s! Last I heard was the problem with cooling. I guess no one thought about how cars move and had the Eureka air cool moment like Ferdinand Porsche did in the 1930s. We had a big push for alternate fuels in BC in the early 80s. I had a gas/propane Plymouth and a propane only big Bronco. My B-I-L had 2 LNG vehicles. Died out in the 1990s when they put 10c road tax onto auto propane/LNG and the oil companies pulled their usual. Upped the price 60c a litre to collect that dime. Just after I moved to the boonies, propane was more than gas for a short time. I did run a work truck on it about 10 years back when gas went back up. But they only produce LESS CO2, and everyone wants everything to be 100% effective or it's no good. Transitioning is a bad word...

The teachers are stoopid argument. All the kids who wanted to copy my homework used that one.

There's different ways to store the hydrogen but compression is the predominant one. New materials have been used to store 4X the pressure of those used today. I have no idea of what kind of tank they're using for those semis, they only describe them as large - like too large for a car. Then again they don't mention cars need far less fuel storage then semis. I don't think the neighbour's Kenworth would go as far as my Saturn with only a 60L tank.

No it isn't, it is exactly the same. It just isn't in a big balloon bag and it doesn't combust in a fuel cell. It has to leak out AND find a spark to combust, just like propane and LNG

Hydrogen. Straight diesel engine conversion. Funny thing is there's a refinery up the street, could've gone to propane decades ago.

BTW they're building a hydrogen plant here in Prince George to fuel a fleet of semis. Fingers crossed its not another run for a year until the grant money runs out project. Seen enough of those in these parts. H2 vs C8H18... I guess so!

Yes, hydro is like solar. They have to shut the spillways at night to refill the reservoirs. The dam operators are unionized. It would cost gudzillions to have them not click the reduce power output icon at night. There has and will be no research into hydrogen generation and storage until Trump is re-elected and orders it so, like he did with vaccines. Charging vehicles at night is absurd like turning the dishwasher on when you're sleeping instead of just turning the volume up on the TV If you fill your car with hydrogen, it will float away and be lost. Your insurance won't cover that. EVs and hydrogen cars explode driving in a straight line, moving ICE vehicles only explode and burn if you turn the steering wheel more than 3 degrees without jamming on the brakes. Justin Trudeau will put a carbon tax on your tap water if they start using hydrogen from electrolysis. Burning hydrogen is worse for everything, it creates clouds that trap sunlight and make it even hotter. The added H2O in the air will fall as rain and create floods, maybe completely ruin desert areas. There is no mention of Climate Change in the Bible, therefore it cannot possibly be true. Power plants are intrinsically bad, coal fired plants supplying electricity to London made things worse than having a coal heater in every room of every home in London. Uncle Bobby could knick coal off the side of the tracks now he has to PAY 100 quid or so. Who shall pay, who shall PAY? Hydrogen cars mainly use fuel cells they don't burn it.

That was all in the past, we realize colonialism was bad and we'll never do that again. (smiles at Martian)

Not even a well designed bot. Just fished the word 'laptop' out of it's randomized response database....

Yes, the most abundant element in the universe is too just expensive to extract. Get that out there now so it can sink into the same blockheads and they can spout that for ten pages 20 years from now. You know them. The ones that shouldn't have to get out of the way when a speeding bus is coming. It's a "natural" occurrence, every ten minutes or so....

Ask the kids of an immigrant what they are and they'll tell you Canadian. We just don't go out of our way to brag about how fast you're assimilated. The melting pot isn't needed because you melt anyway. It's pretty secondary where your family came from. Or what church they go to, on what day, or don't believe at all. And your incessant anti-Trudeau, anti-Singh, anti-socialist, pro-Bible thumping rants have nothing to contribute to multiculturalism discussions whatsoever. It only points out a bigot's view of the subject.

speaking of Darwin:

Geez, even met lots of those at the last NDP gathering... be more specific: incels and miserable old c**ts...

Obvious you're talking to some AI bot. No human would waste so much time and effort to double down and prove what a dupe they are.

50 yr old divorcees? Jeez, I was way luckier with women as one and knew WTF what I was doing too! Of course I had friends stupidly picky - looking for companions that had no kids. Of course one gets better rewards fishing in the ocean instead of a mud puddle.

Your ignorance is only exceeded by your obstinance. You must live in some other country.

You mean someone like Trump who insisted on ordering the FBI and DOJ around and snivelled like the spoiled baby he was when they wouldn't because they don't follow political orders? The one who now claims they do just that and has millions of bone stupid enough lackeys that believe him? The guy who's lucky justice i so damned slow they didn't frog march him from the White House in cuffs?

They're building mosques and closing churches because the Moslem population is growing and the percentage of church going Christians is shrinking. That's ALL there is to it. And the next generation of those immigrants are going to be as atheist and un-fun-dumb-mental as most of us are now. So discussion of religion is pointless regarding immigration. This is a secular country and will stay that way. No one shit bricks over eastern Europeans being orthodox, Chinese being atheists or Sikhs usurping the order of things. If you did or do, you defined yourself as a racist.

So says the guy who thinks that the wind that pushes a ship can't run a generator. Who's being stupid?

They can pave the roads EVs run on.

It's just another witch hunt.... says the whole coven rolled into one Orange Oaf...

Yes I understand that, but I also understand what here and there means. You're deflecting again as usual - If you're completely unable to reply to any thread without simple deflection and whataboutisms turn off your browser and try playing solitaire. .

Starting on it at least. And yeah, in a country requiring great distances for somw of us, hybrids have to be part of the solution. As does hydrogen.

She wasn't doing that either. What were you doing staring at her tits and imagining? Walking down Wreck Beach buck naked isn't sexual unless you make it so. Gonna accuse the gym teacher in swim class of corrupting minors cuz they can see bumps on her boobs or a hint of camel toe too?

WTF has there got to do with here? Or are you unable to distinguish wear it if you want to from you have to?
