Exactly! I could also see hydrogen for things like freight trains and cargo ships which will be tough to electrify in America (so much track and rail companies hate spending on upgrades.) Hydrogen seems not only more dangerous, but more complex to store and deal with than typical gas. Whereas every gas station and nearly every home already has an electric connection that will have to be maintained and upgraded forever, regardless of what happens to cars. Electricity as the prime energy source for cars and devices also allows any potential future fuel type or energy source to be used for generators. That’s not possible with hydrogen, and it’s a massive downside. We have an opportunity to (in software terms) generalize our infrastructure and separate concerns. We can make energy generation separate from energy use. That’s going to be a lot more flexible for the long-run than committing to distributing more gas around.
