Jennifer Schwab: What makes fuel cells better than traditional power sources?

[MegaJohnhammond]

Dumb shit. Where does the hydrogen come from, your ass? Let's burn some coal to produce hydrogen, and we can run around telling everyone how green we are.

And like we really need some shithead housewife driving her ugly kids to ballet school, talking on the phone and putting makeup on, all while she's driving a god damn Escalade full of compressed hydrogen.

And so does the hydrogen producer, then on top of the 60%

loss in transmission the hydrogen hydrolysis consumes yet another 70% cut in the original electricity from power plants.

And then there are heat losses to convert hydrogen to

electricity in a fuel cell. FINALLY then the electric motors

get it which are 90% efficient, so we would save at least

80% more by skipping the whole fuel cell thing and using BATTERIES!! - (You can't fool this physicist)

why? How does the energy get to the fuel cell? From the hydrogen line in my house?

You sort of forgot to mention the efficiency losses of creating hydrogen and transporting it to your home.
