The oil giant is one of the big players in hydrogen globally, but even it can't make its operations work here. All seven of its California stations will close immediately.

    I think we will likely need hydrogen for situations where batteries are not reasonable.

    An example would be remote logging operations where delivering power is likely a non-starter.

    Granted, maybe we’ll get to a point where a remote solar array could be installed … or maybe we’ll just stick with fossil fuels for that until technology gets better. However, it is a distinctly different situation from the 99% of individual use vehicles.

      It’s really only long range travel away from grids (like maybe autonomous trucks traveling through very large unpopulated areas, but not on rail or boat) where hydrogen has meaningful advantages due to energy density. Anywhere else there’s something else which is comparable or better.
