>but will this still be a problem after a few years of successful clean hydrogen?

We're still many years away from even being able to see the levels of hydrogen deployment that the large investor-owned utilities and fossil-fuel companies and industries are bragging about and hedging their carbon reduction goals on. And they're counting on that fact to be able to continue to kick the can down the road with existing fossil-fuel infrastructure, because it means they can keep their existing systems in place and make their stockholders more money by avoiding having to spend anything on capital improvement projects.

The final squeeze of old energy has been and will always inevitably be messy and greedy. But it’s advancements like this that’ll try to make these squeezes final. What I’m saying is the car industry didn’t believe in clean energy, until technology and consumers demanded them to be. And now that technology is almost here for clean hydrogen, the next thing to do is convince the consumers of its benefits, and (hopefully) the industry will be forced to listen.

Clarification: I truly believe Reaganomics is on its way out, and the consumers will have a stronger sway on industry, rather than just CEO’s.
