...with hydrogen produced from either methane (steam methane reforming), or from electrolysis that comes from an electrical power grid that's powered from burning fossil fuels. Hydrogen fuel made by electrolysis, using electricity generated by renewable sources would be okay with you?

By the way, when SMR is done properly, it doesn't generate much gaseous carbon. I'm okay with it, especially if it's done with methane generated from human/animal sewage. My only problem with it is that they're advocating transporting the hydrogen around as ammonia. That would create a lot of danger to the environment.

But I agree with some of what you said. Especially the fact that the DISTANT promise of developing fuel cell powered vehicles was used for years as a distraction away from developing electric vehicles.
