That's a nice idea, but your pursuit of perfect is slowing down the attainment of good.

I don't have anything against hydrogen, but it does seem rather overhyped for its position right now.

The only place where I see it being clearly better is in replacing NG in industrial processes.

We do not need it for cars. That is already done.

Looking at the truck market, it looks likely that we will not need it there either.

Air travel is still in play. Maybe?

Ships might also be in play.

So if someone wants to say that we should be investing in hydrogen for those three segments -- air travel, ships, and industrial -- then I can support it.

What I think is happening in some places is that, having completely missed the BEV wave, some people and companies are dreaming of being able to unseat batteries in that area; and, that is utterly silly, imho.
