> we know batteries are not charged from low carbon sources today

Have you got any grid-scale "green hydrogen" projects with a higher energy efficiency than existing grid-scale renewable energy projects (solar, wind)? Because unless you do, "green hydrogen" is dead on arrival in any market.

> can we stop shilling for green electricity?

No, because we already know how to make grid-scale low-carbon energy.

Show me grid-scale "green hydrogen" and I'll retract my criticism.

This might be one to watch: Massive green hydrogen hub in Utah wins $504M federal loan guarantee (*)

Course this could end up like Concentrating Solar Power plants and end up on the wrong side of the cost-benefit equation, but I'd argue it is still worth a look.
