Of course it's a plus. I'm likely to be hiring a group of Mechanical Engineers in the next six months, and I certainly want at least one of them to be fluent in Mandarin to make it easier to work with Chinese suppliers. It would be pretty handy if they speak Korean, Japanese or Hindi, too.
After they mismanaged the company for a few years, trashing our corporate culture and making all the employees miserable I found another job and resigned.
If you were an ethical person, you would have bailed as soon as the acquisition was announced.
miserable, judgemental jerk
Why would I be miserable? I don't have the taint of working for a criminal organization on my conscience.
Perhaps you lack the basic information that oxygen is the most abundant element on earth. It makes up close to half of the mass of the planet. We're not going to run out of it.
"Accenture" is Andersen Consulting under a stupid-sounding name to try to avoid the stench of the Enron scandal. As an organization, they have always been devoid of any ethical qualms, and they should be ignored.
What I find hilarious is the way that the supporters of the Giant Douche and the Turd Sandwich demand that we settle for one of them because the other's too horrible to contemplate.
Actually, storing hydrogen is remarkably challenging.
Much less so than it was just a few years ago. Today, you can make tanks to take 10K PSI out of carbon fiber instead of steel. They're surprisingly light.
Keep in mind that diesels, like any internal combustion engine, lose at least half of the chemical energy of their fuel as exhaust heat. A hydrogen fuel cell can deliver 70 to 80 percent of the oxidation reaction as electricity.
Also, don't assume that the current methods for producing hydrogen are the final word. I know people who are working on hydrogen-producing bacteria, for example.

That's not an unreasonable requirement, given the need to work with manufacturing operations in China.

an insurance company that uses Accenture policy administration software
Would you mind telling us what company that is? I want to make sure I never do business with them.

I was a Senior Consultant at Andersen Consulting
Hey, thanks for the heads-up. Now everybody knows that you're not someone to trust.
Have you also worked at the NSA or any other criminal organization?

Andersen Consulting split off from Arthur Andersen before the SHTF.
Not before crimes were committed, just before they were discovered.
Andersen remains a pack of crooks, and hiring shills like you to spin the story doesn't change that.

That's true of course, and it demonstrates that neither brand of the Ruling Party has any regard for the rule of law. That's why I'm for Gary Johnson.

many Trump supporters, including several IN CONGRESS, have LITERALLY DEFENDED the idea of bringing back US Internment camps.
On a related note, a lot of Hillary supporters are big fans of the last US president who locked people up in concentration camps.

Can confirm, I'm against them both.

wouldn't it be more efficient to just use that energy to charge batteries and power the train directly?
Not necessarily Remember that batteries are heavy. An HFC car can discard as much as 2/3 of that weight.
