A Giant Climate Lie: When they're selling hydrogen, what they're really selling is fossil fuels.

Fuel cells generally contain perfluoropolymers, usually poly(vinylidene fluoride), a source of intractable "forever chemicals." This makes, besides the intractable stupidity of trying to store the stuff in consumer settings, even worse.

The world is filthy enough without fucking it up for useless hydrogen toys just to greenwash fossil fuels.
