She's American. And thoroughly objectionable on many levels, but that article is something else. Lol.

Toyota’s Hydrogen Combustion Engine Has The Potential To Make EVs Obsolete All-electrics amount to only a fraction of the total new car market, which leaves the market open for another kind of vehicle, which is the direction Toyota has chosen. Let's take a closer look at this type of engine, the hydrogen combustion engine, and see why Toyota executives think it can potentially make EVs obsolete. https://www.topspeed.com/toyotas-hydrogen-combustion-engine-has-the-potential-to-make-evs-obsolete/

I've not seen a single serious review of the engine "laughing" and calling it an "absurdity", outside of Youtube crackpots. Looks like your'e talking total BS, JBChiangRai. Quite the contrary, the engine was received with awe, wonder and positive applause.: "Yamaha has once again raised the bar for internal combustion. Yes, their focus is on musical instruments, but they have also built amazing engines along the way. Their latest creation was captured by LOVECARS!TV, and you do not need subtitles to see how much potential it has. Dyno readings show a flat torque plateau made possible by the slow burning fuel. Properly tuned, you will have 500 Nm (368 lb-ft) at almost any rpm with 442 peak horsepower (330 kW) made possible by H2. The simplest molecule in the universe consists of an electron orbiting a proton. Therefore, the only downside to this is explaining the trail of water coming from the exhaust. Back in October, the Toyota Mirai went 845 miles on one tank of H2 while driving very slowly. The EPA rates it at 402 miles per tank, which is better than any BEV on the market." https://www.autoevolution.com/news/yamaha-unveils-hydrogen-powered-toyota-v8-174970.html

The grand jury did not indict Trump on any specific charges related to inciting an insurrection, former Trump impeachment manager Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin pointed out to CBS News. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-indicted-grand-jury-jan-6/

Indeed Toyota have been extremely successful. The latest Toyota-Yamaha hydrogen V8 engine has received unanimous praise in the vehicle industry. Toyota don't just think about the future, they in fact contribute substantially to shaping it.

Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as "special prosecutor". Guess who tried to appoint him to the Supreme Court? Barack Obama. However, unprecedently the Republican Majority refused to even hear Garland and prevented his appointment. Then in 2021 Biden appointed Garland AG. And you're seriously trying to pretend the law and politics are not sleeping together? It was of course the DOJ who sent letters to former Trump lawyers telling them the DOJ would not exercise privilege and they could go ahead and testify against Trump. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrick_Garland In the end the DOJ knew that they had to try to get Trump in another way and pretend they were politically impartial, which Merrick Garland, the Biden appointee, most certainly was not. Trump was subsequently acquitted in the Senate trial, which was held in February after Trump had already left office. Three states, Maine, Colorado, and Illinois, issued rulings to disqualify Trump from appearing on election ballots on the basis of his supposed "insurrection" involvement. Trump appealed their decisions in Trump v. Anderson. The Supreme Court heard the case on February 8, 2024, and unanimously ruled on March 4, 2024 that states could not remove Trump from the ballot.

The initial outlay for an Electric vehicle is currently still much higher than for a petrol car, since EV's are more expensive to produce. "Even if electric cars are posed as being better, it is unlikely for petrol cars to be eradicated overnight, simply because many people will not trade in their current motor. This simple detail alone means fuel cars will remain in use for at least a few more generations. With 1.2 billion cars on the planet - even if manufacturers all stopped producing fuel-using cars tomorrow, the resale market would stay alive and the demand worldwide to keep these cars going would mean fuel would still dominate as the main source of car energy! Despite the hype around electric cars, they have a lot of flaws that stop them dominating the market. For example, there is still no feasible electric alternative to the good old tractor, with all proposed alternatives lacking necessary power. The electric alternative to the classic petrol fuelled car can take an average of about 8 hours to charge. https://fuelcards.co.uk/news/this-is-why-traditional-petrol-cars-do-still-have-a-future/

Yes, you are guessing. About the future. There is a well known book published in 1910, where they lament how harnessing solar energy is sadly economically unviable. Today whole governments bet on solar energy. You simply don't know what the science in 10 years, 20 years or 30 years will look like.

Yet another overenthusiastic and politically motivated legal charge that will go nowhere. The only ones making it in the US are lawyers, earning a fortune.

There are too many variables for you to make such definite statements on fuel costs for hydrogen cars in the future. I admire your confidence, but it is severely misplaced.

Like I said, you're beating a dead horse that will never fly. If there were even the slightest chance of nailing Trump for insurrection, trust me the Democrat controlled judiciary attack dogs like Jack Smith would have done so. Even he did not dare accuse Trump of insurrection. So best to let this one go, you're just going to embarass yourself.

I seriously think your crystal ball to determine the cost of future hydrogen car fuel is not as capable as you may think.

No, not "nuff said". Of course such major innovations take decades to bring to fruition. However, they are very serious about pushing the hydrogen ICE: "Toyota Is Placing Huge Bets On Hydrogen At Its U.S. Plants Toyota has dedicated various US facilities to testing and perfecting hydrogen-powered cars. With Toyota rapidly moving in the EV, PHEV, and hydrogen direction, it's worth noting that some of its U.S. factories will see fuel cell batteries manufactured inside of them. According to a press release from Toyota, a dedicated line at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky (TMMK) will begin assembling integrated dual fuel cell (FC) modules destined for use in hydrogen-powered, heavy-duty commercial trucks. This is likely to spread to other US and global facilities as Toyota ramps up hydrogen production." And it's not just Toyota either. They've joined forces with many other multi-national companies: "Members of the council, such as Air Liquide, Alstom, BMW, Daimler, Shell, and Toyota, have collectively committed $5 billion for hydrogen-related investments over the next five years." https://www.topspeed.com/toyotas-hydrogen-combustion-engine-has-the-potential-to-make-evs-obsolete/ They hydrogen engine has way too many advantages not to be built.

The traditional hydrogen fuel cell had higher costs, however, Toyota are betting on the hydrogen ICE which is different. In addition in Denmark researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Chemistry are developing a new type of catalyst that they hope will decrease the cost of fuel cells. So there will be solutions to this issue. They said the same about electric cars.

Even Special Counsel Jack Smith did not dare indict Trump for insurrection. Only fools or outright liars would claim Trump planned and executed an insurrection. Those of us who lived through the events know full well Trump told protestors to go home. A rather strange insurrection playbook that would be. https://www.semafor.com/article/08/02/2023/donald-trump-indictment-jack-smith-insurrection-charge

At first he told them to go there, to protest peacefully. He never planned any insurrection, as you well know. Don't make a fool of yourself, it would be unbecoming for such a fine man.

Without wanting to deprecate your engineering credentials, the fact that Toyota is pouring billions into the development of the hydrogen motor rather contradicts your claim that the hydrogen motor will be 5 times more expensive than the EV. Clearly Toyota thinks the hydrogen car is very viable economically, and would not pour billions into developing it otherwise. The previous hydrogen cars were milestones along the way which brought a lot of intel, and yes had some issue, but like I said, Toyota is continuing to develop the hydrogen motor with billions as a priority. So I rather doubt your claim it will be 5 times more expensive than the EV, since then Toyota would not be investing in it.

You're beating a dead horse that will never fly. Trump told them to go home. https://www.reuters.com/article/world/trump-calls-for-peace-tells-protesters-to-go-home-idUSKBN29B2UT/

Riclag posted a video of this, there was an Ali G type guy at the DNC who suggested they put in place a tax on white men only. Four out of five women at the DNC agreed. Hilarious to watch, I would link to it if I had it at hand.

Trump never tried to forment an insurrection, once again truth has departed the room in favour of political propaganda. In reality, Trump explicitly told the protestors to go home. Bit of a strange insurrection plan, to tell the people to go home. I mean, come on.

Yes, clearly there should be a tax just on white men. Many at the DNC supported that.

Your links are really top quality, as always. Great read.

I would not be that immodest to consider myself competition for a billionaire former president of the United States, no far from it. I was just explaining the simple principle that morality is perspective based on a parable published by Arthur Shopenhauer, the wonderful German Buddhist moralist and philosopher. Albeit, slightly modified geographically for your good self.

I am on record for wanting all politicians brought to justice over their negligent handlng of Covid and causing the lockdowns which resulted in 2 Trillion USD being destroyed worldwide and which were wholly unnecessary. However, politicians in Italy and Britain, who after China were the first Western countries to put in place extreme lockdowns, should be the first to go to trial.
