Is the hydrogen-powered fuel cell part also fair?

There was an article on HN recently on how the energy losses in the generation and distribution of hydrogen are much high than for electricity in LI batteries. For all intents and purposes it just seems like hydrogen fuel cells for vehicles is a totally dead end technology, and Toyota bet wrong.

The government should structure any program so that it's technology agnostic. Let the auto manufacturers figure out what tech to bet on.

The government should focus specifically on outcomes. For example: CO2 reduction, energy independence -- those sorts of things.
