Hydrogen, an energy carrier proposed for helping transition the world away from fossil fuels, is well-suited for the oil and gas industry’s public relations machine. Instead of a benefit to the climate, the result may end up bailing out the gas industry by locking in future demand for its main product with the help of taxpayer funds.
