...disasters all over the world, and that's not even counting when they explode.

While a number of hydrogen explosions in South Korea have led to fatalities, the most recent bus to explode, in December of 2024 didn't. Three people were injured, but unlike the 2025 explosion at the SK plant that killed two people.

The hydrogen scam in South Korea features two fossil fuel greenwashing efforts, hydrogen itself, and sequestration, in this case of the carbon dioxide utilized in the steam reformation of fossil fuels to make hydrogen. The exergy destruction in the scam, required by the laws of physics, was as always in all hydrogen scams, not mentioned.

It isn't necessarily fun, since death and injuries are involved, but one can easily learn about the poor safety record of hydrogen in South Korea just poking around the internet.

Efforts to treat hydrogen as a transportation fuel - an expensive disaster in many places around the world - have killed more people than died from radiation releases at the Fukushima nuclear plants, but only a fraction of those killed by seawater, about 20,000 in the Sendai earthquake that destroyed the reactors. Of course antinukes, all of whom couldn't care less about fossil fuels, are disinterested in the destruction of cities by seawater and do not participate in efforts to ban coastal cities as "too dangerous.:

Efforts to greenwash fossil fuels as "hydrogen," a favorite of antinukes whose couldn't care less about deaths from fossil fuels, easily have led to more deaths than radiation leaks at Fukushima, not even counting the deaths from air pollution associated with the steam reforming of fossil fuels to make the rather dangerous gas. Its horrible physical properties make it a rather dangerous material, even in well trained hands.

The EU maintains a database of hydrogen incidents leading to injury or death, HIAD 2.2.

If one pushes even lightly anywhere or any time against an antinuke, one will find an apologist for fossil fuels.
