Am I the only one who gets irritated by hearing of or seeing guff like this headline?

H2Offroader: Land Rover unveils its prototype electric Defender powered by hydrogen - and the only by-product is water so pure you can drink it!

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-9684207/Land-Rover-reveals-hydrogen-fuelled-electric-Defender.html

Reminds me of the old days in the late 1970s, when journos were starting to do write-ups about those new-fangled "silicone chips". (What? Computers running on furniture polish?)

In this case it is mercifully only the headline, as the text goes on to sensibly say:

"Jaguar Land Rover is stepping on the gas with a new hydrogen-fuelled electric 4X4, the British car maker has announced this morning.

The zero-emissions prototype Defender uses the hydrogen in a fuel-cell chemical reaction to generate electricity which then powers electric motors to drive the wheels of the off-roader.
"


PS. XFool has a watch that is "fuelled by sunlight". :roll:
