        This image, right or wrong, is why hydrogen cars were never going to win. The public gestalt on how they thought of them mimics this photo.

          Both make lovely sources of power for cars and lawnmowers though 😍 just don’t inhale the exhaust of the former, or the combustion of the latter 😳

          Li-ion batteries explode.

          LiFePO4 batteries can’t explode without the aid of some C-4. Im so tired of my boi LiFePO4 being lumped in with their explodey cousins.

            I like lifepo4 batteries. You can safely forget about them and then they don’t burn your house down. They last long enough that when you finally do remember and need them for something years later, they’re probably still good.

        The reason why the Hindenburg exploded like that was because they coated the fucking thing in what is essentially thermite. They doped those things with aluminum powder mixed with nitrate.
