Original Note:
Donald Trump is comparing hydrogen fuel cell cars (HFCEVs) to other types of cars (e.g., hybrid, gasoline, etc.). https://www.youtube.com/live/PHiwOoHSqfo?si=MkdWGqY1Us4WG6V4&t=2082 https://www.youtube.com/live/uny2nOMpYKg?si=xeQvn6r6vaVLSYqE&t=10354 Trump's comparison is incorrect, as HFCEVs have a lower radiant heat and a higher oxygen requirement for explosion than conventional gasoline. https://www.nrdc.org/bio/christian-tae/hydrogen-safety-lets-clear-air#:~:text=Hydrogen%20has%20a%20lower%20radiant%20heat%20than%20conventional%20gasoline%2C%20meaning%20the%20air%20around%20the%20flame%20of%20hydrogen%20is%20not%20as%20hot%20as%20around%20a%20gasoline%20flame.%20Therefore%2C%20the%20risk%20of%20hydrogen%20secondary%20fires%20is%20lower https://www.fastechus.com/blog/is-hydrogen-fuel-safe-your-questions-answered#:~:text=hydrogen%20fuel%20is%20still%20safe%20because%20it%20has%20a%20lower%20radiant%20heat%20and%20a%20higher%20oxygen%20requirement%20for%20explosion%20than%20conventional%20gasoline https://hydrofleet.com/dispelling-myths/#:~:text=MYTH,IT%E2%80%99S%20NOT%20SAFE https://oneh2.com/maximizing-hydrogen-fuel-safety-through-proper-practices/#:~:text=Lighter%20than%20Air,environments%20with%20oxygen
