Here in Europe it is obvious that big oil is working very hard on trying to make hydrogen a success, in order for them to survive.
A lot of promotion on Linked-in, making sure that hydrogen production goes into the programs of political parties, subsidising a professor on university of technology who promotes hydrogen etc.
Politicians fail to comprehend (or do not want to comprehend) the simple calculations that show that hydrogen is ridiculous for transport.
Even when Brussels has blocked European subsidy for hydrogen projects because it will mean a lot extra CO2 production.
Big oil has a lot of money in their pockets and they are using that fully to survive.
