Why would a glorified scheduling service need to store my birthday? Or age. Am I soon supposed to show/store my ID to all services running on my computer?
Sorry, wat? Attacked by who? Saudis? The official reason for the yet another illegal war was that Saddam was amassing WMDs - do you see any familiar made up cause here?
That's certainly a part of the reason. But I guess a bigger issue is ethanol production where you'd need large fields for "growing" ethanol instead of food. And lastly, it still produces co2.
In what way hydrogen manufacturing pollutes much more assuming we are talking about green h2? Sure renewables have a pollution cost associated with manufacturing but I really don't think the end result is much more pollution. Even less so in the cities in resulting co2 and pmN emissions.
Hybrids are perhaps worse than both ICE and EV. More complex, burns more than the other two, still consumes a shit ton of oil and pollutes a lot. Ethanol has also its problems, like how does one get it in enough quantity. Why do you think we are not driving ethanol cars today?
Did you miss the word theoretical? And yes, AFAIK we are already storing some but certainly not at the scale required if that's even possible (I wouldn't want to live anywhere nearby a huge storage of hydrogen). Another related advantage would be the transport of stored hydrogen where transferring electric energy comes at cost when it comes to long distances.
They probably found the position impossible to defend, even for them, genocide enablers. Limiting the loses and such.
