Nathan Harren 11/25/2023 5:06 PMFor this Ecochallenge, for session 8, I started to advocate for greener vehicles. It was interesting, and I also did lots of research, mainly around hydrogen cars. I think hydrogen cars look very promising, the issue is storing hydrogen is very hard and technical in nature. I think electric cars are great, but I do worry about the mining practices and scalability of battery production. Overall, when I talked to people, they were largely already sold on electric or against it, no matter what I said. I did find that two of my friends said they would drive electric, but it was still too expensive for them to afford. -
