The hydrogen scam in China is driven by their access to coal, which is what they use to make it.

I don't think the scam is serious. My son spent months in China and traveled widely without ever seeing a hydrogen coal greenwashing vehicle.

It's a serious as Governor Hydrogen Hummer Arnie's car was decades ago.

Hydrogen is a dirty and dangerous fuel. It's an important industrial reagent for use by trained engineers but has remained a stupid fantasy elsewhere for good reason.
