Totally agree, and batteries are typically made in china where electricity mostly come from coal power plants. Just as well hydrogen may not be good for the climate either.

This brain-washed journalist makes it clear how green tech often is green washing, and a very effective one.

I wonder why I am down-voted on this: hydrogen is only marginally produced from renewables today. Who would bet it will be the case in the future when the demand is huge? Large countries (Germany, China, India) mainly produce electricity from coal, natural gas or petrol: is it good for the climate to charge our batteries with that electricity?

People refuse to look at reality, now.
