It really is too bad hydrogen technology seems to be lagging because it has some great benefits for energy storage over batteries. The thing with batteries is that chemically, there's not a lot of room for improvement so the issues we'll see today will not be magically resolved in 20 years. Hydrogen has the potential to be as convenient as gasoline in terms of refueling and can really shine when you generate your own power at home and store the excess as hydrogen. Sadly there's too many things not in place to make it work for a consumer vehicle at the moment (even apart from fuel cells behind wildly expensive). I think we'll have start running out of oil before we see major advancement anyway.

Pretty Cool Name posted:I'm honestly quite excited about battery tech. There are constantly progress being made and I don't think you should discount that just because we don't have it *now*. This explains pretty well how advances in battery technology are possible, but do not come close to anything you can burn. Although hydrogen is the worst of them, it's still way ahead of batteries (and can be made at home using electric power). Oh and the EEStor ultracapacitors mentioned there are a scam
