What?

- The fill nozzles for hydrogen cars are insulated.

- Gas stations manage pressure tanks for propane already, with no problem.

- Automated pressure monitoring has been a solved problem since the steam engine.

- Hydrogen crackers don’t create superfund sites. If they leak, they leak water, hydrogen and oxygen.

A hydrogen cracker can just be plopped down wherever electricity and water are available. You probably need an attendant because of vandals, bathrooms, snacks, etc, like a current gas station. This is why current commercial crackers are often found at existing gas stations.

Not in most of the US

> Hydrogen crackers don’t create superfund sites

But replacing the existing tank to dig another does (whether replaced by hydrogen or electric)

> Automated pressure monitoring has been a solved problem since the steam engine.

Us still have "do not top off" instructions at every pump
