I was simply laughing at the idea that Musk is somehow different than the other giants when it comes to this issue. He’s no different, and playing the same game.

Other weren't able to deliver the product, musk was able to. As simple as that it.

Oh, and I personally don’t like EV technology as much as other measures

What are you talking about lmao. You have no expertise in these things. Your personal opinion doesn't matter.

At least not battery technology. To me, the focus and attention we give to batteries is the result of lobbying efforts.

Batteries have been consistently low with their progress. One of the major reason why solar can't be implemented is because we can't store that kind of energy at a vast level. Battery tech is needed to progressed. Battery is needed to get smaller in size and store more energy. The energy density needs to be greater What other options to store energy are you putting forward ?

There's a reason why most scientists, companies and govt don't focus on hydrogen. Because its scam not batteries. It certainly sounds great. Hydrogen, after all, is “the most common element in the universe,” Unfortunately, it’s all pure bunk. To get serious about energy policy, we needs to abandon, once and for all, the false promise of the hydrogen age.

The problem with this expenditure is not simply the waste; the government throws away vaster sums on any number of other useless programs all the time. Rather, the real issue is that the myth of the hydrogen economy has masked the administration’s total failure to address the nation’s vulnerability to energy blackmail.

the myth of the hydrogen economy needs to be debunked. It is bad science, bad economics, and bad public policy.

The Real Science of Hydrogen

Hydrogen is only a source of energy if it can be taken in its pure form and reacted with another chemical, such as oxygen. But all the hydrogen on Earth, except that in hydrocarbons, has already been oxidized, so none of it is available as fuel. If you want to get plentiful unbound hydrogen, the closest place it can be found is on the surface of the Sun; mining this hydrogen supply would be quite a trick.

So if we put aside the spectacularly improbable prospect of fueling our planet with extraterrestrial hydrogen imports, the only way to get free hydrogen on Earth is to make it. The trouble is that making hydrogen requires more energy than the hydrogen so produced can provide. Hydrogen, therefore, is not a source of energy. It simply is a carrier of energy. And it is, as we shall see, an extremely poor one.

Neither type of hydrogen is even remotely economical as fuel.

The spokesmen for the hydrogen hoax claim that hydrogen will be manufactured from water via electrolysis. It is certainly possible to make hydrogen this way, but it is very expensive — so much so, that only four percent of all hydrogen currently produced in the United States is produced in this manner. The rest is made by breaking down hydrocarbons, through processes like pyrolysis of natural gas or steam reforming of coal.
