When you subsidize competitors to hydrogen (such as electricity), it punishes hydrogen. Toyota et al are asking to reduce these subsidies.

I don't know whether gas is subsidized or not, but if it is, I agree, remove the subsidy!

ha yes. Gas is wildly subsidized so consumers have cheap fuel prices to support the car based economy.

Same as corn, dairy, etc...

Ah yes, good point about corn. That's heavily subsidized and will only become more so since every politician wants to win Iowa early in the primary
