Hydrogen opponents cite its inefficiency relative to batteries, and question the wisdom of building a complex and costly new infrastructure. A recent article in the Desmog blog explains the dynamics of the developing hydrogen sector in detail, and includes links to various resources and arguments on both sides of the debate.

As a result of the cost of those batteries, the price for this clean energy is much higher currently than what you’d get with a natural gas-fired power plant. When combined with our further passion for electric vehicles it means that batteries will continue to get cheaper, longer-lived and of higher capacity.
