If the leaks of hydrogen should be kept under 5%, we don't have a good track record of keeping gas leaks under control anyway...

Yes. I'm not watching a video but it is a serious problem, especially as hydrogen degrades metals and finds its way out anyway. The private sector cannot be trusted to self-regulate nor the government to meaningfully regulate.

Trying very hard not to succumb to nihilism here ...
