In reply to the discussion: Solar Hydrogen: Fuel of the Future [View all]nationalize the fed
(2,169 posts)9. The only character assassination involved
was done by Julian to himself when he failed to include the calculations involving renewables, failed to disclose his emotional investment in Tesla, and, when he was CEO of his little lithium battery company and apparently scammed people out of cash.

He left out the whole renewable thing. But maybe that's because he is both emotionally (by his own admission) and maybe financially (he doesn't say) committed to Tesla, and fuel cells are a direct threat to that company.
You're welcome to believe the con artist but others should know how and why he comes to his "conclusions" about hydrogen.
A lot has changed in 11 years and Lovins has, since the 2003 piece you cite, embraced batteries.
You are so right- The Hydrogen economy is much closer and hydrogen tech is much much better than 11 years ago. The Hydrogen energy revolution has begun.

Fuel cells have a long way to go before they can be as efficient as todays EV.
