Johan, your conspiracy theory is as good as most, but strikes me as sub-optimal because the public already thinks that. I think their audience is regulators. If *I* were in charge of killing AFV's, and I am not, I would go the route of keeping the fuel stations working. That way they can tell the regulatory officials that they honestly did everything they could to support the idea. They don't need to *further* poison the idea, beyond the original sin of designing a H2 fuel vehicle. H2 at it's best won't succeed and they know it. But, I guess this might be even better since Toyota can blame the state government for the failure of 2015, and buy some time to let H2 fail by itself in 2016/2017. Hmmm.
This is the reason I think McDonalds keeps selling salads. I think they really don't want to, and they don't make money, and they don't sell very many. I think it is so when they are inevitably sued they can just say "we try to sell healthy food, but you people don't buy them". Toyota and the other Big ICE cars want to say "we tried making low-range wierdmobiles, but you people don't by them". Its a get-out-of-jail free ploy.
