I have my CDL
working a driving job now during this downturn . It’s very flexible and if I work 5 days a week it’s 12-1500 bucks .
Working this , with the 30 hr line , in between pto and dropping lines I don’t want I’m doing just fine and will be for the next few months . If I get the F word come October I’ll be driving full time until the industry rebounds .
Got to have a plan b and know how to do something different

Where does the hydrogen originate? What energy source is used to create the hydrogen?

I realize the average person in the general public says milk comes from a store...

hydrogen is easy you come by. Electrolysis would be the easiest way. Turning that into a power cell is a different story. Lithium batteries are already the Hindenburg of modern times. Imagine what a runaway hydrogen cell with enough power to move a transport category aircraft must be like... well the Hindenburg, really.

He asked what ENERGY SOURCE is used to create the Hydrogen.

Exactly.

Electrolysis is applying current through water to make hydrogen and oxygen. Last time I heard, that current comes from Coal, Natural Gas, and Nuclear power plants. To lesser extents from Hydroelectric, intermittently from Solar, and intermittently from Wind.

Nothing is free.
