I did this with ikea walnut counter tops and had the same result. There is a finish on the wood which you have sanded through. The learnings and fix for me was: (1) sand all the finish for the whole benchtop. the veneer is 2-3mm thick so it wont be an issue. (2) throw the oil in the bin and put down a nice coat of polyurethane. It looks a million bucks now.

You are so confident and so wrong. I am not going to waste any more time on this conversation. Look up Dunning Kruger effect.

That's all correct. But none of it is a show stopper.

You can also crack it from water. Using free replaceable electricity. So if there's no waste product to make it, and no waste product to burn it, is it really inefficient?

Hydrogen will definitely drop. When they make it at scale it'll be heaps cheaper.

You obviously haven't thought this through. You every looked under the hood of a Toyota mirai? You would need to replace all electrical and mechanical ancillary equipment. All the looms. Even the wheel hubs if you want regen braking. The entire drive train basically needs to be replaced. Different heaters, AC compressors, radiators and cooling systems. Then you need to find extra space for the battery. Yes that fuel cell needs to power a battery which then powers the motor. You would be left with the chassey and the cab basically. The amount of labour cost would be higher then a new truck. But heaps more GHG

Costa Rica? Remind me what happens when they get hit by a hurricane?

Correct. Bmw had 50 7 series prototypes built like this in 2000. You could switch between h2 and diesel.

It's expected the price will drop. Also, building all new trucks to be green is not going to help reduce GHG.

You totally over look that in option 1 you're retrofitting to an existing truck and option 2 requires a new truck. Replacing all trucks is not only a huge cost for businesses but also a huge contribution to GHG.

So USA are banning these companies for doing the same (built in back doors) thing that USA companies are doing? Ohhh the hypocrisy
