Electric Vehicles

Hydrogen and it's future were purely cemented in a society with battery technology maxing out in advanced alkaline cells. Now that we're able to produce cheap, robust, and recyclable Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries with reasonable energy densities, hydrogen is pretty much officially dead. The only way it might survive is in heavy equipment applications, but pivoting those off of fossil fuels and their associated infrastructure is basically not going to happen for the foreseeable future and wouldn't really make sense anyway since the bulk of available hydrogen is manufactured using methane captured during traditional fossil fuel extraction. I'd compare it to the hype around recycled plastics/paper, purely manufactured based on the ability to sound good in marketing and inconsiderate of the significant downsides.
