You are totally wrong. I get the feeling you are stuck in the past. Hydrogen is fully viable in cars, trucks and train. In fact, we are already using hydrogen for those things. These are solved problems.

Apparently we are finding vast amounts of natural hydrogen? This will be explored more.
We have exponentially growing amounts of wind and solar. This is simply a matter of expanding production at this point.
We are not living in the 1960s anymore. We do not have to worry about hydrogen leaking.

You don’t actually need to do that. Modern equipment can simply handle hydrogen.

Hydrogen is also safer than gasoline. It is lighter than air. There isn’t any real concern about the danger of hydrogen.

Exclusive: “I don’t see batteries as the solution for electrifying the world,” says leading climate scientist, Carlos Duarte

For now, hydrogen feels like the simpler, more natural answer. “It uses what nature already made, moves energy cleanly, and turns back into water when it’s done.”

Climate scientist Carlos Duarte tells Driving Hydrogen how he see's the world’s shift to clean mobility will depend on hydrogen, not batteries - and how nature has been making it for billions of years...

The electric furnaces only work with secondary and scrap metal, they cannot produce steel from iron ore etc.
To process the iron ore you need hydrogen furnaces to do it cleanly.
The delay in using hydrogen is the cost, it is cheaper to use natural gas.
It is expensive

Toyota’s Bold Bet: Why It’s Doubling Down on Hydrogen as Rivals Go All-Electric

Toyota’s multi-pathway approach keeps hydrogen fuel cells at the heart of its long-term plan, betting the technology will replace diesel and complement EVs in the next decade.

Again, wrong. It’s proving to be fairly straightforward to modify natural gas infrastructure to handle hydrogen.

Hypx @hypx.bsky.social · 17h

1) Not actually true. Naturally occurring hydrogen is being found.
2) Irrelevant since we have effectively unlimited green energy to power such systems.
3) Wrong. It stores a lot like natural gas. This is basically a solved problem now.

GM is basically just a pickup truck company at this point. Nearly everything else loses money. Its BEV program most of all. I suspect we are going to see the second collapse of GM at some point in the foreseeable future.

Hypx @hypx.bsky.social · 1d

Farms can just electrolyze water and make hydrogen that way too.

Hypx @hypx.bsky.social · 1d

It is functionally infinite as a energy resource. It is not much different from solar power. There is no reason to oppose the use of hydrogen in any viable circumstance.

They already shoved billions into the money pit that is the BEV. They must in other technologies like fuel cells if they want to get out of the pit. But I don't expect most car companies to do so.

SSABs new steel hits 50-400 kg CO₂ per tonne vs the usual 2,000 kg. They mix hydrogen-reduced iron, recycled scrap, and biocoal to meet strict emissions standards. First batch goes to GE for wind turbines – clean steel building clean energy infrastructure.

If you cared about stopping climate change, you'd invested as heavily as you can into ideas like hydrogen. Naysayers are simply undermining the fight, just like they did against wind and solar.
