I actually think hydrogen from solar and wind is a good think, ICE trucks pickups etc can be converted to run hydrogen in the ICE engine, just stop making new ICE cars. Hydrogen helps in a few different ways. With petrol, it can run on a 5% mixture, so you can almost run without a throttle which makes it more efficient due to no pumping loss. In diesel, running a % of hydrogen with diesel makes for a clean exhaust and also better consumption. We going to have to live with a few ICE around for a few years. What we don't want is for this to slow down the BEV uptake, and for this end we can stop subsidizing fuel and charge road user charges. One charge with upkeep of roads and licence and even third party insurance thrown in and an additional charge for ICE that can be adjusted.
