Gas isn't flammable, right?

Sure it is, but not near as volatile as hydrogen, plus the small size of the hydrogen molecule makes leaks more of a problem.

As Toyota, Tesla etc., move towards solid state batteries, the bad parts of Lithium should decline. You are right though, Lithium is bad news as long as they do not know what makes it ignite and control that environment. Plus, BRICS+ controls the market.

MurphyтАЩs law prevails evermore and someone will find a way to blow one up.

Or some terrorist?

Would a hydrogen electrical plant, for example, require any less security than a nuclear plant?

All generators that make our power, regardless the fuel, are hydrogen cooled. If hydrogen was as big a problem as yall say, you would read about it, daily. And they would figure out a way to blame climate change and Donald trump. The biggest danger from hydrogen is its inherent danger in mixing with air. The perfect combination and you barely need a spark. But otherwise, itтАЩs relatively safe. Btw, because of its density is why we use it to cool generators. ItтАЩs more efficient that the generatorтАЩs rotor spin in a gas much lighter than air, or anything else.
