    Hydrogen is safer than gasoline in a vehicle and storage.

    Maybe liquid, the hot rod was compressed gas. Big big boom if it goes wrong.

    Hydrogen trains replaced with electric and battery versions because hydrogen is too expensive.
    https://www.hydrogeninsight.com/tra...year-opts-for-all-electric-future/2-1-1495801

    I continue to struggle with why hydrogen powered transportation ever gets off the back of the napkin stage. I suppose it's good that they tried though, because now they can be the poster child of why H2 is a bad idea.

    Renewable energy and batteries are the future.

    A new industry spawned from an emerging technology. Seems more than a passing fad as some have claimed.

    There will always be an industrial solution to waste, no matter what that waste product is. Same as recycling any other waste product. There has been many ups and downs in the recycling industry since recycling began, I'd look at those examples to see how successful recycling is as an industry.
