Electric vehicles are in the past. The new, renewable energy source is coming to engines build by the most notorious companies in the automotive world.
Ok, but carbon dioxide isn’t the alternative energy transport option, is it? Crude oil is, and a crude oil spill is far worse than a liquid hydrogen spill.
Containing a fire from a leak would be an issue for visibility. However, if there’s a catastrophe comparable to an oil spill in the open, liquid hydrogen (a) converts to gas and evaporates into the air and dissipated - it’s so much lighter than air, they used to use it to float enormous steel cages around; (b) it’s flammable, but not guaranteed to catch fire, and when it does burn, it produces water. There’s no other byproduct - just water.
