Good. Waste of time and money. It's wasteful. Only 30 – 40% of the original energy used to make the hydrogen makes it to movement. Or worse depending on storage and transport times. The only reason it's getting attention is the fossil fuel industry pumping money into the idea to sell blue hydrogen until green is cheaper. But green will never be cheap as it's so a wasteful use of energy.
