Batteries keep getting cheaper and cheaper and are able to store more and more energy.

But you still need to build the infrastructure to generate the hydrogen and get it to the fueling stations and it still takes energy to generate that hydrogen either remotely or onsite at fueling stations.

Except that the exhaust from an engine, or fuel cell, running off of natural gas still contains co2. And you still have to build up the refueling infrastructure.

If they can work out the how to bring the cost of fuel down, it has the potential of being better than BEVs.

A rebadged WRX maybe?

BIG difference between being right next to a plant and being 100+ miles away.

Same thing that happens to used lead acid batteries, they get recycled.

Bring this over

If nuclear advocates want to quash objections to over safety concerns, then take a pledge that they, their children, and their grandchildren will all live next to a plant, in subsidized housing, and would be the last to evacuate in case of an accident. 

the most effective battery currently would be in the form of pumped storage

At least you’d enjoy the ride!
