    severely underdeveloped technology of batteries we have today.

    Lol, no.

      Hydrogen is a great way of storing and transporting energy.

      If we could find more efficient ways of manufacturing hydrogen, it may be very worthwhile as a storage technology for power plants when there is a surplus of energy.

      Or for powering equipment that needs a ton of energy but can’t be tied to the grid…freight ships come to mind.

      But for cars? It was a workable idea when battery technology was terrible. There has been a lot of movement in that area. There’s still environmental and political concerns over lithium…but ultimately i think either lithium will be replaced by something even better, or we’ll find solutions to those concerns, and at this point, the cons of lithium are outweighed by the pros.
