What I find hardest to believe about the last 10 years in the US is how an entire country of 350 million people has just stood there & allowed this utter madman to run amok, destroying its institutions, its civility, its global reputation. Has America no self-respect at all? 😲

The hydrogen bubble has burst.
Nearly 60 major low-carbon H₂ projects have been cancelled or paused — far more capacity than the world has actually built. The reason? Fundamentals still don’t add up:
• Demand isn’t there
• Costs remain high

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.
