If Biden really wanted to stick it to the Chinese auto industry, he'd fund a national build out of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and substantial subsidies for fuel cell production.
Is fuel cell tech actually easier, cheaper, or better than batteries in any way?
Hydrogen can cause "hydrogen embrittlement," which makes the storage and transportation of hydrogen inconvenient. "Hydrogen embrittlement" refers to a phenomenon where metal materials become brittle and prone to fracture after absorbing hydrogen. This phenomenon poses significant challenges for the storage and transportation of hydrogen.
No it doesn't. It's a well understood, predictable phenomenon that is reasonably addressed in any application involving hydrogen.
