I guess both? I know climate wise the manufacture of those things cannot be climate friendly.
At the end of the day, making EV cars isn't either unfortunately...but in the grand scheme of things. Both hydrogen and EV cars are more environmentally friendly than gas powered cars.
Manufacturing of any kind always causes an environmental impact. This is the way of things.
The one thing we can't get that would mitigate the environmental costs of making stuff, is if stuff was built to last....
any sources?
For the production of the tank itself or the likelihood of environmental impact?
Here is an article about the tank, it appears to still be in the proof of concept stage. As for my conjecture that it would likely have a high carbon impact during production that was based mostly on similar studies ~2~ done on the production of cars.
i guess both?
