Moreso, because the shuttle uses hydrogen as rocket fuel. So if they have it, why not use it for electricity too. bob On Tue, May 12, 2020 at 7:08 PM Peter VanDerWal via EV wrote: > > The Space Shuttle had a Fuel Cell. > > > > Which produces fresh water that the astronauts drink. Having to

"While I fully agree that a fuel cell for a car is foolish, the one limitation of batteries is energy density. In those applications where energy density is the MOST critical factor, such a LONG distance ocean and air travel, H2 makes sense as it has 7 times the energy density of batteries.

And Toyota does it again. Promotes hydrogen even when it makes no sense! Someone sent me this article. https://www.h2-view.com/story/energy-observer-unprecedented-levels-of-performance-on-first-transatlantic-passage/ But this article caused me to do some digging, because I was very suspicious
