Do you think it is more flammable than gasoline?

At least hydrogen and natural gas disapate upwards into the air if their is a leak, rather than pooling in a spreading flammable puddle.

I do not see the danger level much different than what we use today. The pressure is significant, but we transport welding type storage tanks every day.

Gasoline isn’t under pressure, even without a spark natural gas presents an explosion hazard. Notice when we transport gas tanks today the vehicle has to have warning labels.

Just like the electric car when recharging there is a possiblity of a blowup and fire and the costs of adding it to your electric bill might be astronomical. What happens if the grid goes out? I say experiment. That ethynal turned out to be a big dud and it’s good thing they found out before some idiot who has a piece rammed it down our throats in Congress.

You have a tank that will hold hydrogen without leakage? I don’t want one in my garage
