Yep, they saw long ago that gasoline was on its way out, and decided hydrogen was the fuel of the future. Unfortunately, it seems they bet on the wrong horse, and now are extremely reluctant to admit this and try to change gears and move to EVs.

If the problem is cheap generation, you could do a lot worse than solar. My understanding is that storage and transmission is a huge obstacle too.
