hydrogen has a lot of issues. higher pressures, and nothing actually can contain it, so the entire systems have hard expiration dates 10 years from date of manufacture. great for buying new cars, horrible for anyone that buys used, also really hard on the stations to get stuff replaced on that time table.

the delivery/distribution/manufacture processes aren't all that different from standard fuel or propane systems currently in effect. but the pressures are significantly increased, which most view as a major negative.

but i think the real killer is that we can't even trust people to refuel into approved containers. and now we want to trust the general public with a high pressure variation that requires specialized docking connectors just to refuel?
