The Union of Concerned Scientists on Hydrogen

The Union of Concerned Scientists writes: Will hydrogen be a climate solution? Not if fossil fuel interests get their way. With billions of taxpayer dollars set to flow, the Biden administration must set rigorous hydrogen standards to defend against a perpetuation of fossil fuel industry harms.
I notice that famed energy analyst Jigar Shah made a similar remark from his post in the DoE.
Frankly, I’m surprised by this.  I continue to believe that the “electrification of everything” in energy and transportation is the way to go, and that hydrogen is essentially a distraction.
The generation of hydrogen is inefficient, fuel cells are expensive, storage is difficult, and the delivery infrastructure is virtually nonexistent.
