Production, consumption, electrolyzer efficiency limits and capital cost, storage problems, fueling problems, transportation problems, pretty much every aspect of this stuff makes it terrible for use as a vehicle fuel. All green hydrogen efforts should be focused on fertilizer production before anything else.

I have a bachelors in chemical engineering, the energy balance on these devices never works out favourably. As soon as you scale up to any meaningful impact on GHGs, you get power inputs on the scale of entire countries.

If you'd like to do a proper literature review instead of daydreaming, I'd be happy to look it over

Hydrogen was never and will never be a viable and efficient transportation fuel

The liberal party is the worst party for leftists in Canada. At least the Conservatives are abhorrent enough to push people towards progressive policies, the liberals just take that progressive label and then run an ineffective centrist government until the right wing takes over again. Been this way for decades.

Natural gas is absolutely not as bad or worse than coal, if you look at the whole picture. The big problem with coal wasn't the greenhouse emissions, it was all the other emissions. Radioactive particulates anyone?

Do you think buying it from a street dealer isn't corporatized? Cartels are basically just black market multinationals at this point. If anything, legalization would make it less corporate since you could grow it in your backyard.

It will seem more corporate once it's legal, but that's just because the business is being conducted in daylight.

You think it's easy to keep track of tens of thousands of relatively small networking devices in a warzone? What about Starlink kits smuggled in through third countries?
