They are doing the same about hydrogen right now. Notice that hydrogen is promoted as green fuel by oil companies. Why? Because 95% of our hydrogen is produced from natural gas. But they always talk about electrolysis, just like they used to talk about recyclability. Producing all the hydrogen we need by electrolysis would be way too inefficient, there are too many losses and we would be much better off if we just stored all the required electricity in batteries. Oil companies are promoting hydrogen because they know it will allow them to keep drilling oil and gas. It's like "Thank you for smoking" all over again.
