The End For Electric Cars? VW Develops New Hydrogen Tech: 2,000 Km On A Single Tank

A friend of ours from Jamaica is in Med School and was barely surviving on a stipend before Med. School. We loaned him our second car many times and fed him often.

He is at Johns Hopkins now. Doing well, he tutored my daughter in Pre-Med.

Med School is another one. You get out with a huge debt, and immediately have to intern for next to no money. It is brutal.

I am so happy I went Computer Engineering.
 
Sweet, its old tech, and I do not know why it took until now to mass produce. I am sure there is a story there.

I hope VW does not sit on the patent.

Goldman predicts clean hydrogen will be a $1 trillion market. Here’s how to play it.

Hydrogen power has been on the market for decades but has never really been able to break the glass ceiling of mass-market appeal, mainly due to a host of technical and cost issues. But some experts now believe that the hydrogen economy is ready for take-off, with Goldman Sachs predicting hydrogen generation could eventually grow into a $1 trillion per year market. The EU has hatched a highly ambitious plan to install 40 gigawatts of electrolyzers within its borders and support the development of another 40 gigawatts of green hydrogen in nearby countries that can export to the EU by 2030. The EU has also pledged to cut Russian gas imports by two-thirds by the end of the year and has doubled down on green energy fuels by increasing renewable hydrogen production.

And Citigroup analysts are now particularly bullish about one hydrogen sub-sector: fuel cells. Fuel cells are used in specialty vehicles such as forklifts and by energy consumers to complement electricity from the grid to smooth energy costs and ensure reliability. According to the analysts, the global fuel cell industry is a direct play on the green energy debate, and “reaching the part that batteries cannot.”

I've been watching the Netflix documentary series on Formula One racing.
I don't usually like motor sports, but Formula One is a class all its own.

Really good stuff, there. High class stuff, not good ole' boy shit like American racing.
These kids drink Cristal from the navels of supermodels. Honest to God jetsetters, these kids.

Anyway, it occurs to me than once internal combustion engines are gone, we'll never hear
those engines turning 15,000 rpm again. Just one more thing lost in the quality of our lives.
