Three Californians File a 5.7 Billion Dollar RICO Lawsuit Against Toyota's "Hydrogen Bomb."

4. I am not a legal scholar and cannot comment on the merits of their suit.

It strikes me as a product liability suit, whereby they allege false advertising of an unsafe product.

I can't say I'm impressed by the plaintiffs. After all they were dumb enough to involve themselves in this fossil fuel marketing greenwashing game. By contrast, I understand hydrogen, how dirty it is when manufactured and how much potential danger is involved given its poor physical properties.

The big lie by which this junk is marketed is that hydrogen is made on a meaningful scale by electrolysis using so called "renewable energy." That's is an obviously fraudulent claim but is one we see here all the time, usually accompanied with slick videos produced by some dishonest marketing team.

Again, I have no admiration for the plaintiffs, nor for the fact that their cars have become huge paperweights because hydrogen is a risky material, has a record of causing explosions and thus an infrastructure that can, as California's has, collapse quickly.

They should have done some homework. After all we've had 50 years of "hydrogen economy" bullshit and to the extent it exists it's a subpriduct for the agricultural industry responsible for the release of 900 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Have a nice day.
