Applying Hanlon's razor... I think it's just a case executive incompetence/severe tunnel vision: Toyota has been in hydrogen lala-land for a good long while no

  Similar in South Korea: its president is promoting hydrogen as next-generation "clean energy" (a claim that I find very questionable), while Korea's hydrogen is 100% generated from fossil fuels. Coincidentally, public opinion in both countries are staunchly against nuclear power, which I suspect played a role. When you eliminate a proven, stable source of power, you end up campaigning for everybody to use less electricity "to save the Earth." Once you buy that argument, EVs start to look less palatable. (Better to peddle hydrogen and don't look too close at how it's made.)

    I was in Tokyo on March 11, 2011. I completely understand why the Japanese public are against nuclear power.
