The hydrogen will not be 'created' offshore.
It's just a wind farm that transports electricity to shore which then through regulations has to be turn to hydrogen.
Right?
The TL;DR to me is it's a complicated way to subsidise the hydrogen economy?
I get for hydrogen production the power doesn't have to be as clean so you might get some gains there. But I assume they will not be significant to the over all process.
Like this example which is still on the grid as you'd expect - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJhm6S3Gs1Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJhm6S3Gs1Q

The widespread usage of gasoline for passenger cars has created lots of jobs: Driving trucks for gasoline transportation, maintaining pumping equipment, gas station attendants, etc. If these jobs disappear due to a switch to electric vehicles in addition to the jobs lost due to the lower maintenance costs of electric cars then it seems reasonable to assume that some companies or organizations will try to maintain the current infrastructure. Even if it requires a switch to hydrogen.
