Hydrogen is just worse natural gas. They crack natural gas to produce hydrogen, and its fucking terrible. Hydrogen creates about 4 times more CO2 than diesel, simply by how the vast majority of it is manufactured

Hydrogen isn't about energy production, it's about storage

Yes, a potential future application, in a system where we basically always have more renewable electricity than we can use could see some great hydrogen-based storage in hydrogen.

But that's not the world we live in today.

There is green hydrogen which is completely renewable, it's just more expensive
