Addressing climate change requires not only a clean electrical grid, but also a clean fuel to reduce emissions from industrial heat, long-haul heavy transportation, and long-duration energy storage. However, they note, a clean US hydrogen economy will require a comprehensive strategy and a 10-year plan. —Arun Majumdar.

One of the big things anti-EV FUDsters like to say is that the electrical grid can’t handle EVs. They’d have us believe that the grid is already on the verge […] They know that ICE vehicles use a lot of energy to move, and that providing that much electricity must be a sure recipe for disaster.
