Green hydrogen will have some uses in a decarbonized economy. Some industrial use for sure. But there are also some sectors like aviation where a good carbon-free model does not yet exist. Hydrogen may have a role to play there.
But people suggesting hydrogen powered vehicles are a simple replacement for gasoline vehicles are either ignorant or charlatans.
I'm definitely not against hydrogen as an energy source, but I am very much against fossil fuel propaganda. They only like it because it allows them to continue making money on fossil fuels, in fact they will kill any research into hydrogen fuel cell production that doesn't require fossil fuels. That's why I eye anything putting hydrogen in a good light with suspicion until it calls out the use of fossil fuels or at least mentions it.
