EV alternative for light/medium duty trucks
So much wheel spinning on EVs, what if they are not the right path forward? The biggest problem with renewable power and EVs is storage, the second is storage, and the third is storage. Another pat...

I think getting away from burning fossil fuel is necessary for human population to continue. But statements that are on their face false is not the way to educate. Solar panels will not produce unless sun shines on them. Storage is another issue, not same as production.
And we keep hearing "green hydrogen". Are you talking about methods of production, or the color? Does it store different than blue? Or Red?
But abandoned natural gas lines back in service? And from what I understand higher pressures than originally used?
And what really makes me ask questions is do we understand the difference between a ad and press release?
1) Fair enough. I changed the word ‘produce’ to ‘contribute’.
2).Color of hydrogen indicates production method. It all results in the same H2, hydrogen.
3). Pipelines can be reused or relined. Europe seems ahead in that regard.
4). Hydrogen blending in a natural gas pipeline already occurs in Canada. Enbridge.
5). Hydrogen cars, vans, and large box trucks already exist. All available in Europe. Hydrogen fueling stations exist. Also the US in California.
My target is a replacement AWD vehicle that is 100% clean energy. No range loss in cold weather and fast refueling during road trips. Probably hybrid hydrogen with some plug in electric range such as 50 miles.
