The goal is to eliminate all car companies that isn't controlled by China.

You don't own any of the supply chain that provides the batteries and solar panels. The West barely makes solar panels because China's strategy already succeeded.

No one sold a BEV a dozen or so years ago. People are just complaining rather than pushing for change.

There are challenges to every technology. But on the whole, hydrogen cars are a "solved" problem. We can all switch to them if we wanted to. The problem is BEV propaganda making shit up against hydrogen cars. This is really an attempt to block progress.

BEVs are a very limited idea. Not everyone can own one. The grid is not setup to handle hundreds of million of BEVs charging. And the resource requirements make them effectively unsustainable in their own right. So in reality, it's time to scale back our obsession for BEVs. If for nothing else, so we can have a backup option. The last thing we want is a BEV monopoly.

Hydrogen is electrolyzed from water. It is basically a battery made from water. It is a much better idea than a battery made from expensive metals that have to be mined in vast quantities.

I've come to realize that many a tech company are ran by morons.

You're missing the part about time. There is nothing that can be done in time to stop the problem. We've already tried everything that could actually work in a short amount of time. Geoengineering is the only thing left.

The rest of your argument is a strawman argument. There's nothing to defend there.

Then you are simply not aware of the situation. We have “tried everything else.” It has basically failed already. There is no chance we can stop emissions in the timeframe desired. Geoengineering is already the only possibility.

That's USB4 v2.0, not USB4. It's not the same thing.

And what are the consequences of failing to deal with climate change? At some point, the option becomes unavoidable.

The only solution that can happen in the timeframe desired is geoengineering. Everything else is going to take multiple decades at least.

There are Republicans in government too. They will always sell out to corporations over public interest.
