What's wrong with pursuing green hydrogen with renewable electricity from wind or solar power? Obviously, we presently could use that electricity elsewhere- just thinking out loud.

If you use electricity directly for transportation, then you're back to the battery problem until a new battery technology comes out.

I've hear hydrogen might be better suited to large trucks and industrial use. It probably makes more sense to propel cars with electricity. We already need infrastructure for that, and a clean source of the electricity.

I do wonder why fuel cells even got started in cars. See how it works out in CA as a test?
