Give it up. Hydrogen is not happening. Batteries have won. Now we need to move to more sustainable chemistries.

Oh, and yeah, Elon was always just posing.

While I believe that the various pushes for hydrogen in cars and light trucks is a shameless attempt at replacing the revenue stream from petrol, hydrogen does make a lot of sense for heavy trucks, trains, ships - anywhere diesel or bunker fuel is used now.

Or possibly converted into ammonia which is not as hard to transport. But yeah, there might be some residual uses.
