Debunking The Myth: Today’s Industrial Use of Hydrogen Doesn’t Mean It’s A Good Energy Carrier
Advocates of hydrogen often misleadingly point to its widespread industrial use today as evidence of its potential as a broad energy carrier. This, however, is a clear example of the equivocation fallacy: the term “hydrogen use” is subtly shifted from its real-world role in industry to suggest a broader, more … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Fuel Cells Aren’t More Efficient Than Alternatives
Hydrogen is often promoted as a clean and efficient energy carrier, but its real-world efficiency is frequently overstated. Proponents of hydrogen fuel cells highlight their conversion efficiencies of 50–60%, comparing them favorably to internal combustion engines (ICEs). However, this selective framing ignores the full energy pathway, from hydrogen production to … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen Is Not A Practical Or Cost-Effective Fuel
Hydrogen has often been hailed as a fuel of the future, promising a clean and versatile energy source capable of decarbonizing multiple sectors. However, a closer look at the technical, economic, and infrastructure challenges associated with hydrogen reveals that these claims may be overstated. While hydrogen can indeed be used … [continued]

Debunking the Myth: Hydrogen’s Abundance Does Not Equal Accessibility
Saying hydrogen is abundant is like saying gold is easy to get—it’s out there, but extracting it is hard, expensive, and energy-intensive. The problem isn’t scarcity; the problem is accessibility. Hydrogen advocates often parrot the line that hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, implying that it’s naturally … [continued]
