Please, such comments are of no use at all.

Instead, what Brad needs to understand is that there are some major
flaws in his plan to make H2O2 in the vehicle while it is on the road.

The flaw that's easiest to point out is this:

It takes energy to convert water to H2O2, and this energy would have to
be brought along in the car somehow. But if you already have a way of
bringing the energy along, it is an unnecessary complication to use it
to convert water to H2O2 and then use that H2O2 to fuel the car. It
would be easier and more energy-efficient to use that stored energy to
fuel the car directly.
