I agree government funding of hydrogen as a fuel is a waste of money. Sadly, it's always taxpayer money, because the oil and gas industry knows the idea is a loser, so won't pay to develop the technology or infrastructure itself. I think that could be the basis of a key argument: if hydrogen fuelling is such a great idea, why isn't the 'energy' industry paying to build it out themselves? Why is government assistance appropriate for this massively expensive build? They didn't need government assistance to build gas stations.
In Canada, our federal government is ponying up peanuts now for an inter-city charging installation, at exactly the wrong time. They're investing in 50 kW stations just as the private sector is ramping up to 150 kW stations, with 300 kW on the horizon. And the program that was intended for EV charging stations is spending more on hydrogen fuelling stations, all under the GHG reductions banner - highly misleading in the case of hydrogen made from fossil and fracked natural gas. If it's any help, you could point legislators' offices to my book. The ebook version is just US$6. https://www.iuniverse.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/126185-The-Emperor-s-New-Hydrogen-Economy On 12/1/2019 8:47 AM, [email protected] wrote: > 1.
