Peri, Look at who wants to keep the distribution network (and the money flowing) and it is very likely that big Oil likes to see the consumption of fossil fuels increase due to the inefficient production of H2, *as well as* keeping the distribution of fuels in hand. NOTE that EVs do not need the liquid fuel distribution network, H2 vehicles are still as dependent on a pump as gas (petrol/diesel) cars today. Cor.
