The solution is to switch to hydrogen cars and avoid all resource intensive materials. Not to mention that LFP comes with major compromises and most US Teslas do not use them.
How is that working out for Toyota? Hydrogen, or synthetic fuels, has a place where energy density, chemical properties, or ease of storage are fundamental requirements. In other words use cases like: long distance shipping, aviation, fertilizer and seasonal energy storage.
For all other applications hydrogen is a lost cause pushed by the fossil industry.
In reality, hydrogen is guaranteed to win this. BEVs are unsustainable and the whole conversation is based on the delusion of people who have invested too much on that side.
Imagine accepting that hydrogen is fundamental to aviation or shipping, but somehow believing that it is an elaborate conspiracy by the oil companies to push it in cars. That is beyond ludicrous. It is painfully obvious that BEV fans have gone off the deep end and are failing to realize that technology is moving beyond batteries.
And it is just a repeat of diesel cars taking off in sales when BEVs where just getting started.
Again, more BEV propaganda and more promotion of unsustainably dumb ideas. A completely waste of time and ultimate missing the point: It is about stopping climate change, not about sales numbers. A point that Tesla fanboys consistently fail to grasp.
So what are you proposing, exactly? Hydrogen storage remains an extremely tough problem, liquid, compressed, hydrides etc etc are all both expensive and offer poor energy density. Likewise fuel cells after decades of research remain expensive.
Batteries, meanwhile, are rapidly advancing, and while they are heavy they offer good economics through very high grid-to-wheel efficiency.
The "proposal" is simply pointing out that those claims are simply false. Hydrogen storage is a solved problem. BEV fanatics are just lying about it. In reality, the whole thing is a disruptive technology to BEVs since it fundamentally solves the weaknesses of BEVs. It is entirely a matter of when it displaces BEVs, not if. This will become more obvious when hydrogen cars become no more expensive than ICE cars.
Currently the vast majority of hydrogen produced for industrial purposes is from natural gas, and the resulting CO2 is emitted into the atmosphere. Until that changes it's not a "green" fuel.
Do you seriously want me to list all of the hundreds of different projects all going up right now? There are a huge range of figures too, and not everything is announced in detail yet.
FYI, the figures are well into the hundreds of billions of dollars of total investment. It is a repeat of wind and solar, and the naysayers are just concern trolling or even outright denying its existence.
For all other applications hydrogen is a lost cause pushed by the fossil industry.
