- DSB is a joke, Banedanmark is a myth we are all controlled by something greater, TRAINS DNA of public infastructure
- But in Merica Cars are democracy, Denmark shoils build an 80 lane highway
  
  USA! USA! USA!
  
  The continental US is roughly 2/3 the size of Europe. Comparing Denmark to it is nonsensical given the differences in size.
Hydrogen never really made sense for cars, the infrastructure and storage is too expensive. But I wonder if it'd work for trains that haven't been fully electrified with overhead cables yet. You'd need much less infrastructure at just a few locations.
- On the other hand, my city is trying hydrogen bus.
  There is a single refilling station needed.
  
  Oh that's a good idea too. If the hydrogen and electricity is green, it'd have less of an environmental than batteries.
- Irish Rail is trying this. There was an article posted about it yesterday!
- Nope. They tried hydrogen trains in Germany and are not buying more of them.

  How do battery operated work? Are they short rage trains? Or do they have like a car full of batteries? And how do recharge times work? Can they recharge just in the stations? If it works for them, great. And it sounds like it is. It just seemed like there were several problems.
I'm from Denmark and I've never even heard there were Hydrogen cars around here.
Edit: but then again, I don't drive a car, so maybe Im just not the target audience.
Big L for them.
