Having worked in a fuel cell lab, and remembering when the gas companies were toting fuel cell's as the red herring back in the aughts I find it very funny that we're still holding off on electrifying cars for the hope that fuel cells might finally start to be even remotely useful for personal transport.

If you want to make an argument at the grid scale, go ahead, but hydrogen's just too big a pain in the butt to work with.

If I were king we’d go to methane and overbuild solar to get there. But I’m not king (yet.)
