The claim that all hydrogen is not from natural gas?

Someone else just posted some good examples of recent projects.

Just to be clear - I’m not “pushing” anything. I just feel the need to respond 
to some posts that make false claims or statements.

I believe in both kinds of EV’s, battery electric and fuel cell. Both are 
*essential* to meet air quality standards, a journey I’ve spent almost 40 years 
on, and efforts to derail hydrogen are counter to the need for clean air.
