Hydrogen can be produced by over-produced, wasted, electricity and overnight electricity. Hydrogen fuel cells are running at 60% efficiency. Far higher than internal combustion engines.
"Although less efficient than electric batteries, today's fuel cells compare favourably with internal combustion engine technology, which converts fuel into kinetic energy at roughly 25 per cent efficiency. A fuel cell, by contrast, can mix hydrogen with air to produce electricity at up to 60 per cent efficiency."
That is incorrect. A pickup truck is a multi-use vehicle. A dozer, for example, is not designed to transport people and goods. But you can use a pickup truck to transport people (family member, etc.) and goods, to tow a trailer, haul construction materials, as a war vehicle as done in the middle East and Africa, to sleep in the back inside a small camper or topper, and so on...
I never ridiculed Texas. An observation on their appalling grid and power generation, that shut down the state, is not ridicule.
As I mentioned before, Texas is nearly twice as large as the UK, and its population is nearly half as large as yours. Such a landmass requires nearly twice as much distances for power distribution over land that is prone to hurricanes. It is not the same for you in the UK, since distances for power distribution are not an issue, and the weather is relatively stable.
And yes, Texas' leaders probably have been riding the "green technology wagon" instead of planning for the future.
Combustion engines will be around for a long time. Much work must be done before all electric vehicles are reliable enough to be mainstream. Hyundai is now recalling about 90k cars at an expense of about 11k per vehicle. That’s insane.
With only 14 moving parts EVs are far more reliable.
