. . . today and yesterday. But, it is hubris to assume you will be correct in the future.
I can envision a scenario or two where cheap electrical power allows the production of hydrogen as a means of stored energy. This may not occur in our lifetimes, but it is still worth the research. As far as the ramrodding of H2 tech on the general populace today, I agree, it is wasteful. However, research needs to be done so as to provide a basis for future decisions.
