Who is talking about punishing hydrogen? And what about the fact that gas is currently massively subsidised, is removing subsidy a "punishment"? And what about the fact that we all need this air to breathe and we're all collectively subsidising this lifestyle with our health? Also note that trucks bringing goods into a city could still be subsidised separately from other things if we chose, and that bulk goods distribution have more options for on-premises fuel tanks than people's homes do, things don't have to be binary.
- freedomben 5y agoWhen you subsidize competitors to hydrogen (such as electricity), it punishes hydrogen. Toyota et al are asking to reduce these subsidies. I don't know whether gas is subsidized or not, but if it is, I agree, remove the subsidy!
- bananabreakfast 5y agoha yes. Gas is wildly subsidized so consumers have cheap fuel prices to support the car based economy. Same as corn, dairy, etc...
- freedomben 5y agoAh yes, good point about corn. That's heavily subsidized and will only become more so since every politician wants to win Iowa early in the primary
