2. The writer of that article

is Michael Barnard, one of North America's "Can't Do It" authors bashing h2 for everything.

Example: around 1 year ago he (and ChatGPT) posted this:

Airbus Drops Hydrogen As Aviation Industry Admits It Won’t Fly
https://cleantechnica.com/2025/02/10/airbus-drops-hydrogen-as-aviation-industry-admits-it-wont-fly/

The problem is, Airbus did NOT "drop" hydrogen and in fact posted a clarification a few days after Barnyard's lie

Airbus Reconfirms Commitment to Develop Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft
https://www.esgtoday.com/airbus-reconfirms-commitment-to-develop-hydrogen-powered-aircraft/

Did Barnyard correct is mistitlled article? Not when I checked it.

Barnyard will lie, cheat and steal to bash hydrogen. Maybe because he was a Tesla shareholder? It's interesting that almost all of North America's EV websites have HATED hydrogen for anything, just like the US Government. Hmmmmm...

For anyone interested in learning more about the liar Michael Barnard, this article may help explain

He'll go down in history all right, as one of the people that helped China lead the world in Hydrogen. Good job Michael!
