Complete nonsense. Most Hydrogen is produced with natural gas. And the conversion makes and end to end efficiency makes it actually far worse both economically and environmentally.
Maybe in some imaginary future that will not actually happen it is as green.

Waste overestimation and in reality even if that was true, you are gone spend 100x more times refueling then in an EV. Because EV you simply charge at home and 99% you not gone use any fuel-station.
And Hydrogen charging station still have many problems if you actually attempted to have a high volume of cars using them.

The path that would give them the most government subsidies and allow them to delay EVs as long as possible.
> To claim they aren't in the game is beyond unfair.
