President Yoon and PM Kishida Agree to Have South Korea and Japan Work Together on Hydrogen Economy
Increased economic integration between Japan and South Korea makes so much sense:
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida agreed Friday to work together to cut costs and establish international rules in the hydrogen sector.
During a discussion at Stanford University, the two leaders talked about ways their countries can cooperate in the hydrogen sector, given South Korea’s wide use of hydrogen cars and Japan’s large number of hydrogen-related patents.
Both Yoon and Kishida attended the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco this week.
The discussion came a day after they held a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit, their seventh bilateral summit this year, as Seoul and Tokyo push to mend and develop their relationship after years of tensions over historical disputes.

You can read more at the link, but hydrogen cars are great if you have nuclear or hydro energy to power the process to create hydrogen. If coal or gas plants are used the emissions savings is actually negligible for hydrogen cars.
Excellent! Helps cut CCP out of the supply chain.
Regarding powerplants, it’s the batteries and the strip-mining of toxic chemicals, plus the runoff, plus the lack of recycling facilities that makes hydrogen more appealing than EVs.
Gas and nuclear are better for the environment than coal or wind.
There are strong arguments about the damage hydro plants do to fish-spawning grounds, so much so that California is dismantling them.
And wind-power eats up resources that can’t be recycled, kills whales and birds (look it up).
I almost left out Solar; but if you have not figured out what a scam that is, I have a bridge to sell you.
Keep worrying about the climate. China needs the west to neuter itself so they can catch up.
