Cleantechnica Painted Into Corner with Years of Anti-Hydrogen Bias

CleanTechnica has been biased against hydrogen so long, they’re struggling to pivot back to common sense. Zachary Shahan, CleanTechnica’s Chief Editor, has spent his career slandering hydrogen fuel cells for one reason: to support Tesla. There is only one reason CleanTechnica & its fans bash hydrogen: because Elon Musk said fuel cell cars were foolish …

  1. Great article, and it’s spot on. About time somebody pulled the curtain back on CleanTechnica (GreenCarReports isn’t much better btw…)

  2. It is very evident after reading a few articles (advertisements?) on Cleantechnica that it is totally biased. It reads like Elon Musk sends the copy directly from his desk. Most of the arguments they make don’t stand up to real scrutiny. Check the backgrounds of the contributors to see if any have published any proper information or research. Mostly Tesla biased personal opinions.

  3. CleanTechnica seems populated by ‘experts’ with English degrees, who feel somehow qualified to judge on engineering matters but with an obvious devotion to St. Elon de LiON, Patron Saint of Lithium.

    These acolytes must follow their master and diss anything real that might injure unicorns.

    Got to keep that fairytale going guys!

  4. Hydrogen fuel cells need to compete against battery on a life cycle basis which is challenging as battery passes 120 dollars per kWh so the question becomes does hydrogen have a viable niche in the world of cheap battery? All the other arguments are irrelevant.

    1. Hydrogen & batteries work together to compete against coal, oil, and natural gas. Large scale storage of hydrogen is an order of magnitude cheaper than battery storage. Also, that hydrogen can be made from surplus renewable energy. Then, the hydrogen can be used to fast charge a BEV instead of using coal. Hydrogen & batteries work together.
