You don't seem to understand that the only thing solar energy does for free is to heat the ground which is kind of useless for moving cars,

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes because using solar to generate hydrogen.... totally just heats the ground.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, because the hydrogen just appears there. No machinery needed. It just forms pushes cars. For free. Amazing!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah cause that's what I've been saying.... totally way to completely be ignorant.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yep, that's what you've been saying. Solar generates hydrogen for free. Just like that. You just park you car in the sun and it moves. Unlike a supercharger which has to be build hydrogen is just there. No buildings needed. Exactly what you said. Word for word.

Lol the ignorance from you lot is hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Except it's you that keeps writing stupid shit like "solar is free".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because solar is free, just like wind is free....you all keep equating that because it requires infrastructure that it's not free...this is the dumbest shit ever, it's fucking obvious that it's not free in that sense...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, coal is also free. I just lays there in the ground. It doesn't cost any money to make it. Obviously you need infrastructure to mine it and burn it but other than that it's free. Right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes because I forgot how when you build a coal mine it just comes out of the ground without any work at all, and you don't need to ship it anywhere, and we can just put it in the middle of our homes and it produces energy. It's like warcraft mining.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I'm happy you're starting to understand. It's the same as with solar. It just shines on cars and they drive. You don't need to build anything like panels or hydrogen storage or pipes to move it. It's simply free energy. Like coal.
