I just don't trust Dr. Hossenfelder after her horrendous trans critical and pro capitalism videos.
Whenever she makes a video about something I know about it’s chock a block with misunderstandings on her part. Now my field is much different, so that’s not really too surprising.
What I find detestable though is that she will look into the camera, say something fucking stupid, and say it with a straight face and a degree of confidence that misleads other.
I'm struggling to get a grasp on the numbers she's citing for efficiency, almost to the point that I began questioning if there was an agenda here.
And she is doing the same thing most influencers are around this tech, being one-dimensional. Take hydrogen, the optimum scale is neither national energy storage, nor single person vehicles. But if you look at more of a city block level, where the excess heat can be used for hot water instead of fossils/electricity, efficiency ramps up!
