Supply and demand. As the cost of electricity increases, the counter (solar) will increase to match. Remember when x2 was the expected price for solar $k per kW? Now it's hard to find quotes under 3x.
The cost of electricity is increasing. I don't see that trend changing by 2030. We are already seeing prices like $0.65/kWh in San Diego. Prices like that used to be found only in Hawaii.

Betting on cheaper electricity to make hydrogen cost effective is a very long shot. One could easily make an argument that solar will be more expensive in 2030.

Just like we need to learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide ... even after calculators were everywhere :-).
