I realized today that I hadn't done my homework when a house guest started extolling the Wonderful World of FCVs. So am starting this thread to learn more about them - I know this forum won't find many champions of them, but perhaps their detractors could provide good cogent reasons as to why they should take a backseat to EVs? (and is this the right subforum for this thread? )
It seems to me this thread as gotten off target. AudubonB asked for reasons supporting FCV's. Not surprisingly it turned into reasons why the world of FCV's are a bad idea. So AudubonB here is a link to Toyota's site.
And just because I posted this link doesn't mean I agree with it:wink:
"The fuel cell vehicle (FCV) is the nearest thing yet to an "ultimate eco-car" that offers solutions to energy and emissions issues"

Toyota insists that HFCV can be a more efficient use of NG than BEV.
Utilities are required to supply power to their customers with high reliability. If you need to do that, you don't build windmills, you don't build nukes (unfortunately) you build a coal or natural gas plant.
If you want lots of reliable, carbon free power, then you do build nuclear.
You omitted to mention the price-tag on these plants, which is extremely high (in large part because of the inefficient regulation by the NRC). Unless one imposes a substantial carbon tax, no for-profit non-regulated company would build a nuke in the US under current market conditions.If you want lots of reliable, carbon free power, then you do build nuclear.
