Hydrogen vs. Battery Electric Cars

Every single advantage claimed by hydrogen is temporary. "Well batteries aren't there yet, so lets build this temporary alternative technology and infrastructure that will just get thrown in the dumpster when batteries are cheaper, lighter and charge faster. Which they will be."

Eventually batteries will charge in 5 minutes with a 1000 mile range and weigh less than the fuel cell. It will take time, but it'll happen. We'll eventually have battery electric airliners too.

Then there's the lie that hydrogen is "clean". 98% of the world's hydrogen comes from fossil fuels and getting hydrogen from fossil fuels like natural gas generates CO2. We are never going to get most of the world's hydrogen from electricity, because we need the electricity for a lot of other things.

The "Hydrogen Economy" replaces one kind of science fiction with another. It's pretty clear the whole idea of a "Hydrogen Economy" is coming from the fossil fuel industry to stop itself from becoming extinct.
