You might call it scare tactics. I would rather call it sceptical tactics. I am sceptical of BLDs market cap. When you visit BLDs premises for a tour they only demonstrate their fuel cells running on room temperature hydrogen. That works well and the buses that are running, run off pure hydrogen. The membrane that is used is plastic which I'm sure will be susceptible to heat. I wonder what the maximum temp of the hydrogen in the process can be. My knowledge of reformers is that they run at high temps so the extracted hydrogen would need to be cooled before it could reach the fuel cell. Can you elaborate on BLDs progress with reformers. Regards.
