I don’t disagree with the rest of your comment at all, but for the Hindenburg comment - hydrogen vs lithium vs gasoline is all about the same in terms of how dangerous it is for it to catch fire.

A tank of gasoline has about 4 times the energy of most hydrogen tanks in cars, and can explode at much lower oxygen concentrations. Meaning they explode bigger, easier.

This same issue applies (in different ways) to gasoline vs lithium. Gas cars have always been a wheeled Hindenburg.
