Shell Is Immediately Closing All Of Its California Hydrogen Stations | The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can’t make its operations work here.::The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can’t make its operations work here. All seven of its California stations will close immediately.

    Jesus, of course it’s not free. Solar panels are not free, the land you put ten on is not free, construction is not free and the infrastructure needed to supply energy during the nigh (storage or another source of energy) is not free. How is this not obvious?

      Lol yes because a super charge station is free…and so is the land and the wires and the sub station to get it out in the middle of nowhere… totally more economical to put in a fucking substation for superchargers in the middle of nowhere than to use solar hydrogen lol

        WTF are you talking about? So solar if free because ‘solar hydrogen’? You’re not making any sense.

          Solar energy is free, I’m not the one that’s made a claim that it’s not. I’m also not the one that has zero understanding on how superchargers work…all of you keep thinking they can just dump one in the middle of rural America and it’ll just magically work. You don’t seem to understand the huge amount of power draw these things have.

            You don’t seem to understand that the only thing solar energy does for free is to heat the ground which is kind of useless for moving cars,

              Yes because using solar to generate hydrogen… totally just heats the ground.

                Yes, because the hydrogen just appears there. No machinery needed. It just forms pushes cars. For free. Amazing!

                    Yep, that’s what you’ve been saying. Solar generates hydrogen for free. Just like that. You just park you car in the sun and it moves. Unlike a supercharger which has to be build hydrogen is just there. No buildings needed. Exactly what you said. Word for word.
