... goodness! Holy moly! All those poor democratz, who themselves got succored, into buying a Mirai, are going to have to park them, commute their Corollas, and Civics: Hydrogen Price USA Updated That's three times pump price, gassing up my two-seater, competition 101 octane racing unleaded, at the local road racing facility here, at Willow Springs! Can't see how the Toyota people could ever form a reasonable expectation their Mirai platform could ever intrinsically achieve minimum efficient scale, free hydrogen incentives notwithstanding? No democrat with half a brain is ever going to buy that car - Samuel, '04 Ruthiemobile -
I've never been much of a hydrogen booster, seemed like a lot of work to build out a whole new infrastructure and all. On the other hand, this does sound cool: Bacteria turned into "nanoreactors" to produce 10x more hydrogen fuel
Genetically modifying bacteria is a bad idea. Scientists may one day open Pandora's box. It's terrifying to imagine the consequences if these bacteria were to become publicly available and invade the human body, which is 80-90% water.
It is a nonpathgenic species, and the conditions for hydrogen production don't exist in the human body. An electric current is needed. More details here, A green fuels breakthrough: bio-engineering bacteria to become ‘hydrogen nanoreactors’ | University of Oxford The actual paper, https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2404958121#sec-3 We've been engineering bacteria for ages; it's how we get insulin. The majority of alterations made will be selected away from if the bacteria get into the wild. There is no evolutionary advantage to the above bug making excess hydrogen.
