A bit moldy, but still recent Department of Energy reverses course, now encourages hydrogen investment with H2USA campaign | Digital Trends PHEV using cng or methanol would be more convenient, and would use less of the same electricity and natural gas. Tesla's new battery swap in 1 1/2 minutes plus charging at home and/or work seems more convenient. That seems to be the main thing California DOE and CARB want the stations but want to use federal not state dollars. The state dollars were appropriated under Schwarzenegger, but red tape stopped the money from being spent, red tape from you guessed it those same guys that want DOE money. By the way even if the money was spent, the promised cars, the eggs, never materialized, they are coming in a year or two in much smaller quantities. The difference in the DOE plan is this one uses natural gas instead of requiring a large percentage from renewable The question then is, this is it more environmentally sound than not doing it? Say california built ccgt plants instead of fuel cell stations and reduced the cost of electricity? Would that help more?
