I get annoyed when articles talk about one of hydrogen’s problems being a lack of infrastructure to deliver the fuel. Of course there’s not today since there’s no demand for it. If the cars start to develop as a market then the infrastructure would be built as well. The same thing has happened with electric cars. But it would take some entity investing in the infrastructure and being willing to wait years to see a return on the investment.

Of course, hydrogen has a lot of other problems that mean it’s probably not viable. Lack of infrastructure is just a weak argument against it.

Eh one of hydrogen issues is that it's so tiny building said infrastructure is difficult so it's not necessarily a bad argument either

Tax payer money has been wasted on this.

As in all types of research, yes. Some of it proves to be a good idea and gets wider adoption, some of it falls by the wayside. No one can predict which one it's going to be until the dust settles, so yes some money will get "wasted" but not in the same way as say, a politician's salary where they spend all their time stopping things from happening and don't actually do anything or achieve anything. That's a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Korean companies has invested in hydrogen cars, which is why it will never going to be a thing.
