  • Insurance isn’t the same as savings though. Insurance is just a bet. The insurance company basically says “Give me $5000 this year and I will cover your health care costs if you ever accrue any this year otherwise I keep the money.” The insurance company just bets that most of their clients won’t put in any claims.

    Not to mention most people can never save enough money to cover the cost of a massive healthcare bill if they get into an accident or get cancer.







  • But energy density is still an issue for cars. The hydrogen needs to be compressed down to a liquid for a car to have a decent range. But compressing hydrogen costs energy. Plus the fact that making hydrogen costs more energy than the produced hydrogen can give back. You might as well use that energy to charge a battery EV instead and waste less energy.

    Hydrogen for industrial use makes sense for personal vehicles not so much.
