I'm just waiting for these companies to admit the same thing about all other forms of "sustainable aviation fuel." SAF is a joke and distracts from the fact that the travel industry needs to shift to electrified high-speed rail for continental travel and, for intercontinental travel, investigate ways to use wind and solar to make sailing an realistic option.
Admittedly, this makes long journeys longer. But the reality is that the world's obsession with fast travel is a problem in and of itself. We need to slow down as a society. There's no way around it.

Hydrogen will never catch on until we can figure out the storage problem. It's hard to store useful amounts of hydrogen in a small space without cryogenics or insane pressures. Fuel cells that generate hydrogen as needed from water or something is probably what we'll end up with.
-
The problem with "from water" is that it takes as much energy to separate the hydrogen and oxygen in water as you get back by oxidizing the hydrogen to produce water. You can't use water as a useful way to store hydrogen for energy because of that.

Why is a "clean technica" website using AI imagery? Hard to take seriously
-
I really despise how many websites have just started to openly use AI pictures for their featured images. I agree that it's hard to take seriously. To me: It also says a lot about the values of the websites that use it.

I don't how this guy seems to have made a living shitting on hydrogen without ever showing his working out. I guess he saves costs by using AI generation

Well, the image itself isn't bad, but I agree they really could have spent that time to get an actual image of an Airbus hydrogen concept plane.

Let them know. Maybe point out the hypocrisy of telling people to go green and use less energy while they're using AI generation which is fucking awful for the environment.
